2016 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · DV66 RZX

A consistently clean MOT record across eight consecutive annual tests is the most striking feature of this 2016 Lexus CT, with the latest inspection on 23 April 2026 confirming a pass and no recorded defects. The uninterrupted series of passes from 2019 through 2026 suggests that, at the times of testing, the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions criteria without any noted failures or advisories. The odometer reads 30,975 miles, which works out to roughly 3,100 miles per year—a notably low annual accumulation for a ten‑year‑old car. Such limited mileage reduces the mechanical wear typically associated with high‑use vehicles, yet components that age with time rather than distance (rubber seals, bushings, and corrosion‑prone areas) may still have deteriorated. The absence of any testing gaps indicates the car has been regularly presented for MOT, providing a reliable snapshot of its condition at roughly yearly intervals. When you inspect the car, give particular attention to the suspension and steering assemblies. Listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps that could indicate worn bushings or degraded mounts, and feel for any looseness or pull when the wheel is turned at low speed, which would point to worn tie‑rod ends or ball joints. Examine the brake system by applying firm pressure to the pedal; it should feel firm and return promptly without sponginess, and the vehicle should decelerate in a straight line without pulling to one side, signalling healthy discs, pads and calipers. Finally, review the condition of the tyres for tread depth and uniform wear, and scan the under‑carriage for any signs of rust, especially around wheel arches and suspension mounting points, as age‑related corrosion can develop even on low‑mileage cars. Verify that all lights, indicators and electronic controls operate correctly, and confirm that the engine runs smoothly without unusual noises, excessive smoke or coolant leakage, as these are the primary areas that can develop problems independent of MOT findings.
