2007 Lexus IS250 2.5L Petrol · D2 GRY

The 2007 Lexus IS250 presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 20 November 2025 at 110,355 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since at least 2021. This consistent record indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies annual statutory testing without escalation of faults. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally low use for a 19-year-old vehicle. From the 15 November 2021 test at 100,812 miles to the 20 November 2025 test at 110,355 miles, the car covered only 9,543 miles over four years, averaging roughly 2,386 miles annually against a lifetime mean near 5,808. The DVSA data contains no gaps between tests and no failures, though the sparse five-entry history offers limited visibility of component-level condition between examinations. Low annual accumulation paired with standing periods can allow corrosion and perished rubber to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe structural integrity given the vehicle's age and likely intermittent use. The MOT record flags no binding calipers, worn brake discs, or exhaust emissions breaches, yet the absence of advisories does not certify component life remaining. Pre-purchase checks should prioritise underbody corrosion, tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than wear, and fluid degradation in the automatic transmission and brake system. The clean test history implies prior owners addressed statutory defects promptly, but no entry confirms proactive renewal of consumables beyond the pass threshold.
