2014 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric · BN63 GZX

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 3 November 2025 at 98,181 miles, confirming current roadworthiness. However, the preceding November 2025 test failed due to multiple tyre defects including sidewall tears and severe wear, indicating poor maintenance practices. This pattern of recurring tyre issues across three consecutive MOTs shows consistent neglect in replacing worn tyres before they deteriorated dangerously. The recorded mileage of 98,181 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 8,182 miles annually, aligning with typical usage. Annual MOT tests show consistent mileage increments without significant gaps, suggesting regular operation but no excessive wear from high mileage. Inspect all four tyres for current condition, especially sidewall integrity and tread depth. Check front suspension bushes and control arms for wear, given their history of deterioration in 2022-2023. Verify brake disc condition and shock absorber seals, as past advisories noted pitting and oil misting. Ensure wheels are straight and alignment is correct, as repeated distortions were flagged. These components require professional assessment to confirm repairs from the latest MOT were thorough and sustainable.
