2012 Lexus RX 450H Luxury CVT 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · CT62 GUO

The Lexus presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 17 June 2025 at 41,135 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The June 2025 test cycle shows a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage, both with no defects recorded, mirroring an identical pattern in June 2024 where a fail on 11 June at 39,169 miles preceded a pass on 14 June at 39,187 miles. These same-day or near-day reversals without listed defects suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decline. Recorded mileage sits at 41,135 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 2,938 miles per year. The car added only 1,948 miles between the June 2023 test at 36,433 miles and the June 2024 pass at 39,187 miles, then just 1,948 miles again to the June 2025 pass. Such low annual use over fourteen years implies extended standing periods, which commonly accelerates perishing of rubber suspension bushes, degraded brake caliper seals, and flat-spotted tyres despite the clean advisory sheet. The absence of recorded advisories across all five entries means no corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or worn coil springs were flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underbody structural integrity and brake disc condition, as long-term storage can hide binding calipers or surface rust not captured in a pass result. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries warrant confirmation that both 2024 and 2025 failures were clerical and not masked drivetrain faults on the hybrid CVT system. Given the sparse, clean record and low owner mileage, previous keepers appear to have stored the vehicle rather than neglected routine consumable replacement. Physical checks of wiper blades, tyre sidewall cracking, and 12-volt battery health remain sensible before purchase, though the MOT data alone shows no worsening mechanical risk.
