2019 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · CK69 HXH

A recurring front‑right tyre wear advisory dominates the MOT record, appearing in both 2022 and again in 2025, and it is accompanied by brake‑related advisories – thin front pads noted in 2023 and a rear disc described as pitted in 2022. Although the car has passed each test, most recently on 15 October 2025, the repeated tyre flag and the brake wear notes indicate that tyre condition and brake component life are the primary mechanical themes to watch. At 59,897 miles the vehicle averages roughly 8,500 miles per year, which sits squarely within normal usage for a seven‑year‑old Lexus NX. The MOT history shows a continuous annual testing pattern from 2022 through 2025, with no gaps that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity. This mileage level means consumables such as tyres, brake pads and discs will be approaching the latter stages of their service life and should be inspected for the usual wear associated with that mileage bracket. When inspecting the car, give the off‑side front tyre immediate attention: verify tread depth exceeds the legal 1.6 mm, look for sidewall cracks, and feel for any abnormal vibration at higher speeds that could signal uneven wear or a developing balance issue. On a test drive, listen for squealing or grinding when applying the front brakes, and note any pulsation or a soft pedal feel that might indicate the rear disc’s pitted condition is worsening. A visual check of the brake pads should confirm whether the front pads are indeed thin and require replacement soon. Because the tyre advisory has re‑appeared, also examine the front suspension geometry – check for play in the ball joints, worn bushings or loose tie‑rod ends that could be causing excessive camber wear on the right front wheel. While driving, feel for any pull to one side or a shudder when steering over bumps, which would point to alignment or suspension issues that may need correction before the tyre is replaced. Addressing these specific areas will give a clearer picture of the vehicle’s current roadworthiness and any imminent maintenance costs.
