2015 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FD65 PFV

The Lexus CT’s most recent MOT test on 4 March 2026 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 91,593 miles. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows a stable pattern over the past four years, with only one minor anomaly: a failed test on 21 October 2024—likely a procedural oversight rather than a mechanical issue—followed by a clean pass just three days later. No recurring faults or advisories appear in the record, suggesting the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical failures. However, the 2024 failure raises a cautionary note about the interval between tests, as the gap between the failed and passed tests was unusually short, potentially indicating rushed or incomplete preparations. The recorded mileage of 91,593 miles over approximately 11 years aligns with typical usage for this age, averaging around 8,327 miles annually. The most notable gap in testing occurred between July 2022 and October 2023—a span of nearly 15 months—during which the vehicle accumulated roughly 19,500 miles. While this does not inherently signal neglect, such a prolonged period without inspection could have allowed minor issues to develop undetected. Conversely, the consistent passing tests without advisories imply that major components like suspension, brakes, and emissions systems have likely been maintained at a basic level, though no record confirms professional servicing. Given the lack of documented faults, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items such as the suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly at the front and rear, where Lexus models often exhibit gradual deterioration. The brakes—though not flagged—should be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the 2024 test’s proximity to failure might hint at marginal performance. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should be checked, especially given the vehicle’s age and exposure history. Finally, the exhaust system warrants attention: while no failures are noted, catalytic converter efficiency can degrade silently over time, and leaks or damage may not always trigger an MOT advisory until they become severe.
