2016 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DP65 YMO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 28 January 2026 at 50,114 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This ongoing streak of clean passes suggests a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has been kept to a standard that avoids the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old Lexus, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. Between January 2022 and January 2024, the car covered only 8,676 miles, indicating very light usage. The more recent interval between the January 2025 and 2026 tests saw an increase of 8,978 miles, which remains well within the parameters of low-impact operation. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals or brake corrosion due to inactivity. Given the clean electronic history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than high mileage wear. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perished rubber, as low-frequency use can leave these parts brittle. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or binding calipers if the vehicle has sat for long periods between tests. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres for sidew cracking, as tread depth often remains legal before the rubber expires on low-mileage vehicles.
