2013 Lexus GS 2.5L Petrol · DE13 VCG

The Lexus GS demonstrates a roadworthy condition at its latest MOT on 30 March 2026 at 180,068 miles, where the tester logged no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend remains stable across the recorded history, with every examination from 15 March 2023 onward showing clean results and no advisories. The odometer reads 180,068 miles on a 13-year-old vehicle, producing a lifetime average near 13,850 miles per year, a high figure for a 2013 executive saloon. The MOT trail tells a different recent story. The car recorded 152,150 miles on 15 March 2023, then added only 27,918 miles by 30 March 2026, an annual rate of about 9,300 miles. A failed test on 2 April 2024 at 159,278 miles shows no defects recorded, followed a week later by a pass at 159,351 miles; this pattern points to an administrative rejection rather than mechanical neglect. The unbroken sequence of clean passes from 2023 onwards suggests previous keepers addressed statutory requirements promptly and did not ignore basic consumable wear. The official records flag no recurring suspension, brake, or structural corrosion faults. A buyer should still inspect front lower arm bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding, as components at this mileage may sit below MOT failure limits yet require imminent replacement. Examine subframe and sill integrity for rust, and verify exhaust emissions and hybrid drivetrain health given the 180,000-mile accumulation.
