2007 Lexus IS220 2.2L Diesel · DF07 HJJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in February 2025 at 99,882 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes since 2022, suggesting that the previous owners proactively addressed potential issues before inspection deadlines. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,257 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in usage between November 2022 and January 2024, where the car covered only 4,184 miles in fourteen months. However, the usage increased sharply between January 2024 and February 2025, with 15,679 miles clocked in just thirteen months. This recent spike suggests the vehicle is now being used more frequently, which can accelerate wear on rubber component degradation and fluid oxidation despite the low overall mileage. While the MOT history is clean of mechanical failures, a buyer must inspect for issues common to low-mileage high-age vehicles. The failure of the offside windscreen wiper in December 2021 indicates a minor oversight in basic upkeep, but the lack of advisories regarding corrosion or brake components in later years is technically encouraging. You should still manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components perish due to age rather than distance. Checking the brake discs for pitting or seizing is also vital, as long periods of standing often lead to surface rust that affects braking performance.
