2013 Lexus GS 2.5L Petrol · DP13 KER

The Lexus GS presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 14 July 2025 at 87,183 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The July 2025 test shows a pass and a same-day fail with no defects logged on either entry, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in July 2024 at 80,469 miles and August 2023 at 73,436 miles both passed clean with no advisories, indicating no worsening condition over the two years before the latest result. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,700 miles against the vehicle's 13-year life, a typical use profile for a 2013 executive saloon. The records show 7,033 miles added between August 2023 and July 2024, then 6,714 miles to July 2025, a consistent and undemanding pattern. The sparse history with four tests across three years and zero recorded defects or advisories gives little basis to suspect neglected consumables, though the twin entries on both 2023 and 2025 dates suggest retest or data-entry duplication rather than genuine fault correction. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the age, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component life remaining. The clean emissions and structural integrity record is reassuring, but standing periods implied by low yearly mileage can permit underseal corrosion or seized calipers unseen in a pass result. Verify the July 2025 fail entry with DVSA to confirm it carried no hidden defect before purchase.
