2007 Lexus RX400 H SE CVT 3.3L Electric · CU07 VZL

The Lexus RX400h presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 148,906 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior three annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 24 October 2024 at 136,201 miles is anomalous, as the record shows no defects listed and the vehicle passed the very next day on 25 October 2024, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 7,800 miles across the recorded history, consistent with typical use for a 19-year-old vehicle. The gap between the 2022 test at 121,707 miles and the 2023 test at 128,235 miles shows about 6,500 miles covered, then 7,966 miles to the 2024 test and 12,705 miles to the 2025 test, a mild upward drift in annual use but no rapid accumulation or standing periods of concern. The MOT data is sparse on faults, with no advisories logged across any entry, which limits insight into consumable wear but indicates no flagged neglect. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean record. The absence of advisories does not confirm sound suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc condition at 148,906 miles; these components degrade with age irrespective of test outcomes. Given the hybrid CVT drivetrain and 2007 structure, check for corrosion at chassis mounting points and inspect the exhaust emissions system and hybrid battery cooling pathways for degradation. The repeated clean passes imply the previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, though the unexplained 2024 failure warrants a check of the full DVSA test refusal reason. No recurring mechanical trend is evident from the supplied data, and the vehicle currently sits within acceptable roadworthiness for its age and mileage.
