Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the low mileage and the vehicle's age, the primary focus should be on the health of the hybrid battery and the consistency of the service history. Ensure that the hybrid system has been checked at the recommended intervals, as the MOT test does not assess the internal health of the battery or the hybrid drivetrain.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and any remaining manufacturer warranties or extended cover. While the MOT record is clean, a full service history is essential to confirm that the vehicle has been maintained despite its low annual usage.
The 2.5L hybrid powertrain is designed for efficiency, particularly in urban environments, which should keep fuel costs lower than a standard petrol engine of this size. Insurance costs will be determined by the vehicle's insurance group and the driver's profile, while road tax will be based on its 2014 hybrid registration.
Typical maintenance for this model is generally predictable, though the low mileage suggests less frequent wear on major components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are likely to be moderate for a premium executive car.
Pay close attention to the tyres, specifically the nearside front, to ensure the inner circumference wear noted in the 2023 MOT advisory has been corrected and that the alignment is now correct. Check the condition of the headlamps and windscreen wipers, as these are identified as top failure reasons for this model in aggregate data.
Perform a thorough check of the exterior silver paintwork for age-related wear. Additionally, test all electronic functions within the cabin to ensure the hybrid system's interfaces and infotainment are operating as intended.
This silver 2014 Lexus IS Hybrid has covered 42,584 miles, which is significantly lower than the average for its age. Between 2022 and 2026, the vehicle has passed five MOT tests, four of which recorded no defects. The only recorded issue was a 2023 advisory regarding nearside front tyre wear.
The Lexus IS has a strong reliability reputation, evidenced by an 89.9% average MOT pass rate across 12,871 analysed vehicles.
