2010 Lexus RX450H 3.5L Hybrid electric · EN59 XFS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 207,023 miles passed with a minor advisory regarding a frayed offside front seat belt. This follows a problematic period in early 2025 where the vehicle failed due to significant suspension and interior defects. While the immediate mechanical failures were addressed, the recurring nature of faults suggests that components are only replaced once they reach failure thresholds. At 16 years old, the recorded 207,023 miles represent a high annual average of approximately 13,000 miles. The data shows consistent and heavy usage patterns, with nearly 10,000 miles covered between April 2024 and March 2025, and another 11,000 miles covered in the final year. This high rate of accumulation puts significant strain on the hybrid drivetrain and the complex suspension system, which is consistent with the wear observed on rubber bushes and tyres in the test records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the pneumatic suspension system, as the top mounts and bushes were flagged for excessive movement across the 2024 and 2025 tests. Given the age of these components, the buyer should check for leaks or uneven sagging. The recurring report of the driverside side carpet being holed through to the floor in multiple tests is a serious concern for potential structural corrosion beneath the interior, which must be verified by lifting the carpet. Additionally, the history of perishing tyres and deep cuts in 2024 indicates a previous neglect of basic maintenance, necessitating a close check of the current tyre set and brake components.
