2014 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric · DS64 SYC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on October 10 2025 with 115,121 miles. While it failed the test on that same day due to a non-functional nearside front headlamp, this minor electrical fault was rectified immediately. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of replacing consumable components only as they reach legal or operational limits rather than through preventative maintenance. At 115,121 miles over approximately twelve years, the Lexus has averaged roughly 9,600 miles per year. This aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 12,400 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 12,235 miles recorded by October 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often degrades internal seals and mechanical components. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as it has been a recurring concern. Between 2022 and 2024, testers repeatedly flagged pitting, scoring, and thinning pads on both front and rear axles. The 2022 entry specifically noted a noisy offside rear brake, which could indicate a sticking caliper or a worn wear indicator. Given the history of surface corrosion, a physical inspection of the current pad thickness and the condition of the discs is essential to ensure they have not developed structural pitting. The 2022 record also highlighted all four tyres being worn to the legal limit specifically on the inner edges. This often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. While more recent tests did not flag these issues, a prospective buyer should inspect the current tyres for uneven wear and check the suspension components for signs of play. There are no structural failures or major corrosion issues recorded in the history, which is a positive indicator for the integrity of the chassis.
