2007 Lexus LS 4.6L Petrol · DA56 UBP

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 6 January 2026 with no recorded defects, indicating it was roadworthy at that time. The maintenance trend shows improvement following a single, promptly rectified failure for headlamp aim in January 2025, with the two preceding tests in 2024 and 2023 presenting only minor advisories that were subsequently addressed. The recorded mileage of 84,632 reflects very low annual use for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,454 miles per year. The mileage accumulation rate has decreased significantly, with only 902 miles recorded between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, compared to 2,354 miles the prior year. This suggests the car has been driven very little in the last 12 months, a factor that can lead to issues from prolonged inactivity such as seized brake components or degraded seals, despite the low overall wear. A buyer should prioritise a detailed inspection of the braking system, specifically the offside rear inner brake pad, which was flagged as wearing thin in January 2023. The recurring headlamp advisories—a defective reflector in 2023 followed by incorrect aim in 2025—warrant a thorough check of both headlight units for proper alignment and reflector integrity. The nearside front tyre's edge wear noted in 2023 should be investigated for underlying suspension bush wear or tracking issues, even if the tyres have since been replaced. No structural corrosion or significant mechanical defects appear in the record, but the low recent usage necessitates a check for binding brakes, exhaust system integrity, and fluid condition.
