2008 Lexus IS220 2.2L Diesel · EA58 EOC

The vehicle is currently not in a verified roadworthy state as the most recent MOT test dates back to 28 December 2022. While that test resulted in a pass at 99,033 miles with no defects recorded, the car has been without a valid certificate for over three years. The maintenance trend appears stable but stagnant, as the record shows no new mechanical failures or advisories since late 2022. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,502 miles per year. Between 17 December 2021 and 28 December 2022, the odometer increased by only 2,774 miles. This pattern suggests the car has spent significant periods standing still, which often introduces different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and rubber components. Long periods of inactivity frequently lead to binding calipers and perished suspension bushes or tyre sidewall cracking. Check for corrosion on the brake discs and ensure the tyres have not developed flat spots or perished despite having remaining tread. The lack of recent data means the current mechanical condition is unknown. Focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the health of the battery and fluids, as these degrade quickly when a vehicle is not driven regularly. Verify that the engine starts cleanly and that no leaks have developed while the car sat idle since the 2022 test.
