2002 Lexus RX300 3.0L Petrol · BT02 AEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT data. The last test conducted on 11 August 2023 at 158,474 miles yielded a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all legal standards at that time. This follows a pattern of successful passes after initial failures in 2021 and 2022, suggesting that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults to ensure the car remains road-legal. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year over its twenty-four-year life. Between August 2021 and August 2022, the vehicle covered 6,261 miles, while it clocked another 6,164 miles between August 2022 and August 2023. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress on drivetrain or suspension components through high-mileage motorway commuting. However, the last MOT was performed nearly three years ago, meaning the vehicle is currently overdue for testing testing to verify its current condition. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody components. Given the age of the RX300, corrosion on the rear mounting points and exhaust system is a primary concern. While the record shows failures in 2021 and 2022 without specific defect details listed in this summary, these often involve items like bulbs, tyres, or wipers that require immediate attention. Inspect the suspension bushes for perished rubber and check for leaks, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related rubber degradation regardless of miles driven.
