Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the low mileage, ensure you verify the service history to confirm that oil changes and hybrid system checks were performed regardless of the low annual distance covered. Check for any signs of battery degradation, which can occur in older hybrids that are not driven frequently.
The 3.4L hybrid engine offers a balance of power and efficiency, though road tax will be higher than smaller hybrids due to the engine size and age of the vehicle. Insurance costs will reflect its luxury status and engine capacity, placing it in a mid-to-high insurance group.
Inspect the suspension components and anti-roll bars, as these are identified as common failure points across the wider RX 450h population. Examine the tyres for age-related cracking, which can happen on low-mileage vehicles where tyres are replaced based on age rather than wear.
This 2013 red Lexus RX 450h Premier has recorded 57,875 miles as of its last MOT in July 2025. The vehicle has passed its last four MOT tests, with the only recorded issues being minor advisories regarding a deteriorated front registration plate in 2024 and 2025. It represents a low-use example of a model with a high aggregate pass rate.
The RX 450h is highly regarded for reliability, evidenced by a 91% MOT pass rate across 463 analysed vehicles.
