2016 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DA04 RKA

The Lexus RX presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its available MOT history. The most recent test on 16 November 2022 at 48,970 miles returned a pass with no advisories, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. Recorded distance rose from 44,929 miles at the 26 January 2022 test to 48,970 miles by 16 November 2022, a gain of just 4,041 miles across roughly ten months. Annualised, this equates to near 4,900 miles per year, well below typical private-use averages. The sparse record shows only two test entries in total, leaving long untested intervals unaccounted for. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely periods of standing. Drivetrain seals and exhaust emissions hardware may degrade through inactivity rather than wear. The clean advisory list offers no flag for corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but the 2022 dual-entry anomaly warrants confirmation that the failure was clerical and not a withheld defect.
