2007 Lexus IS 220D SE-L 2.2L Diesel · CE07 FLX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data, though the MOT record is now significantly outdated. The last recorded test on 25 September 2023 resulted in a pass at 124,087 miles. There are no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing, which suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car. It covered 8,216 miles between September 2021 and September 2022, and a further 8,053 miles by September 2023. This steady usage indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The average annual mileage remains typical for a 2007 model. A prospective buyer must account for the fact that the vehicle has not had a recorded MOT for nearly three years relative to July 2026. This gap creates a significant blind spot regarding the current state of the car. While the history shows no recurring failures in suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, the lack of recent data means any degradation in structural integrity or the emergence of corrosion will be unknown until a fresh inspection occurs. Priority should be given to checking for chassis corrosion and the condition of the diesel particulate filter, as these are common failure points for this model and age. The absence of any advisories in the 2021 to 2023 period is positive, but the current lack of a valid certificate means the vehicle should be treated as unverified. A full mechanical check of the braking system and suspension components is essential to ensure no deterioration has occurred since the 2023 test.
