2019 Lexus ES 2.5L Hybrid electric · EX18 ABC

The June 30 2026 MOT at 133,214 miles resulted in a pass, confirming that the Lexus ES remains roadworthy despite the recorded near‑side and off‑side front tyre damage (5.2.3 (d) (ii)). The subsequent March 2026 test showed no new mechanical defects, and earlier records indicate a consistent pass rate with tyre wear as the only recurring advisory, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 52,102 miles in December 2021 to 133,214 miles in June 2026, averaging roughly 19,000 miles per year, which is high for a vehicle of this age. The interval between the December 2021 and December 2022 tests spans a full year with an increase of about 30,000 miles, while later years show smaller annual increments, indicating regular use rather than long periods of standing. No defects were recorded in the 2024 and 2025 tests, demonstrating that the vehicle has been maintained without major failures. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, as these components are prone to degradation under high mileage. The repeated tyre wear close to the legal limit also warrants a check of wheel alignment and tyre rotation history, while visual inspection of the chassis, subframes and exhaust for rust is advisable, although no structural advisories have been logged. Overall, the maintenance history shows a stable trend with no worsening mechanical faults, but the high annual mileage and persistent tyre wear indicate accelerated consumable wear; a thorough in‑person assessment of suspension, braking and structural condition is recommended before purchase.
