2012 Lexus RX 450H F Sport CVT 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DA62 LKM

The Lexus RX 450H presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 January 2026 at 115,710 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 14-year-old vehicle. The record shows 98,500 miles in January 2022, rising to 104,540 by January 2023, 109,446 in January 2024, 112,948 in January 2025, and 115,710 in January 2026. That equates to roughly 4,000 miles per year across the documented period, well below the 8,265-mile annual average implied by the odometer. The sparse but consistent history reveals no gaps or sudden accumulation, and the absence of any advisories across all five tests suggests the previous keeper maintained the hybrid drivetrain and running gear to a reasonable standard. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The clean MOT record does not exempt the vehicle from age-related wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc corrosion that testers may not flag until they breach limits. At 115,710 miles the hybrid battery cooling system and inverter components warrant diagnostic scrutiny, as these carry no MOT failure criteria yet degrade with time. Given the low yearly use, the RX may have stood idle for extended periods, raising the risk of seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres. Verify the actual condition of consumables and structural underbody areas rather than relying solely on the pass certificates.
