2016 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · EF66 WPP

A history of consistent roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by several years of clean MOT results interrupted only by minor consumable wear. While the most recent test on 08 April 2026 showed no defects, the 2025 inspection flagged specific attention points regarding the braking system and tyre condition. This pattern suggests a vehicle that generally meets regulatory standards without major structural or mechanical failures, though the 2025 advisories indicate that wear items were approaching the end of their service life at that time. The recorded mileage of 65,407 miles over a ten-year period represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,541 miles. This usage profile is relatively low for a vehicle of this age, which typically implies less frequent exposure to high-speed motorway driving and potentially less cumulative stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, the lower annual mileage means the vehicle has been subject to more frequent cycles of starting and stopping, which can influence the condition of rubber components and fluids over a decade of service. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system, following the 2025 advisories for worn front brake discs and thinning brake pads. During a test drive, it is essential to check for any pedal judder or vibration when applying the brakes at moderate speeds, which can indicate disc thickness issues or warping. Additionally, listen for any squealing or grinding noises during braking manoeuvres that might suggest the pads have progressed beyond the advisory stage. The offside rear tyre was also noted for cracking or perishing in 2025, so the current tread depth and the presence of any sidewall cracking should be physically inspected to ensure the rubber has not degraded due to age. The tyre history also includes a 2019 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge. This specific detail warrants a check of the steering and suspension geometry; if the tyre was worn unevenly, it could indicate issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. On the road, look for any pulling to one side during straight-line driving or any unusual knocks or knocks from the front end when traversing uneven surfaces, as these could be symptoms of the wear patterns noted in previous years.
