2017 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DA14 NED

A largely trouble‑free MOT record defines this 2017 Lexus NX, with three consecutive years (2024‑2026) passing without any recorded defects and only minor advisories appearing sporadically. The most recent test on 1 September 2026 confirmed a pass, reinforcing a pattern of stable roadworthiness rather than a trend of deteriorating condition. The odometer reads 32,518 miles, translating to roughly 3,600 miles per annum—a low annual accumulation for a nine‑year‑old vehicle. The mileage suggests limited mechanical wear on engine, transmission and suspension components, yet the modest use also means that rubber parts such as hoses, belts and tyre compounds have aged in situ, which can affect flexibility and grip despite the low wear figures. The MOT schedule shows regular annual testing with no significant gaps, indicating the vehicle has been kept on the road consistently. Tyre condition warrants immediate attention. Advisories in 2023 flagged both front tyres as being close to the legal tread limit and an off‑side rear tyre with a cut that, while not yet reaching the ply, signals potential structural weakness. A prospective buyer should measure tread depth across the tyre width, inspect the sidewalls for any cracking or bulging, and verify that the cut does not progress under load. Replacing the front set and assessing the rear tyre for repairability or replacement will be essential to maintain legal compliance and safe handling. The brake‑fluid advisory from May 2022 indicates the fluid level was low at that time, a condition that can affect brake performance if not addressed. During a test drive, the pedal should feel firm with no sponginess, and there should be no unusual noises when applying the brakes. A visual check of the fluid reservoir for proper level and colour, coupled with a brake‑fluid flush or top‑up if required, will safeguard braking efficiency. While no other defects have been recorded, a thorough inspection for any signs of suspension wear (knocking over bumps, uneven tyre wear) and a check for corrosion around wheel arches and suspension mounting points will round out the assessment before purchase.
