Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking a large hybrid SUV with a consistent inspection history. The vehicle shows a clean record of recent MOT passes with no recorded defects over the last five years.
When viewing this specific black RX 450h, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history, particularly regarding the hybrid battery health and the CVT transmission fluid, as MOT records do not reflect mechanical maintenance. While the MOT history is clean, you should check for any signs of wear on the suspension and braking components, as these are common failure points for this model type across the wider fleet.
As a 3456cc hybrid, fuel economy will be reasonable for its size, though insurance groups for the Luxury trim are typically higher than standard models. Tax bands for a 2013 hybrid will depend on the specific CO2 emissions, but buyers should budget for the premium associated with a large-capacity engine.
Annual running costs are estimated to be moderate, though maintenance on a vehicle of this age and mileage may include items like hybrid system checks or suspension component replacements. Expect typical maintenance costs to align with a premium SUV of this era.
Given that the aggregate data for this model shows common failures in suspension arms, brake pads, and tyres, you should pay close attention to the condition of the undercarriage and the remaining tread on the tyres. Even though this specific vehicle has had no MOT defects since 2021, these components are wear-and-tear items that should be inspected closely during a test drive.
Additionally, check the responsiveness of the hybrid system and ensure the CVT transmission operates smoothly without any hesitation or unusual noise, as the MOT test does not assess the internal condition of the hybrid powertrain.
This 2013 Lexus RX 450h Luxury CVT presents with 103,001 miles on the clock, having passed its last five MOT tests without a single recorded defect. The mileage has increased steadily, averaging roughly 3,500 miles per year since 2021, which is significantly lower than the model aggregate average of 7,472 miles. As a 3.5L hybrid, it offers a high-specification driving experience backed by a recent history of clean test results.
The Lexus RX model shows a high average MOT pass rate of 89.3% across 1,061 analysed vehicles, suggesting generally robust build quality.
