2012 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric · FE12 KZC

The vehicle's MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of pass consistency. After two separate failures on 26 May 2023 and 16 May 2024, the car achieved two consecutive passes with no defects recorded on 18 May 2024 and 10 May 2025. The most recent test in May 2025 indicates the vehicle met all required standards at that time. The recorded mileage of 82,529 miles is relatively low for a 2012 model, averaging approximately 5,895 miles per year. The MOT records do not provide specific mileage increments for each individual test to confirm if the vehicle has been driven consistently or left stationary for long periods. The data shows a pattern of annual testing without significant mileage jumps between the 2023 and 2025 entries. Because the 2023 and 2024 failures did not list specific defect details in the provided record, the exact nature of those mechanical or structural issues remains unknown. A physical inspection should focus on components that typically cause failures in vehicles of this age and low usage, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. Given the low annual mileage, a buyer should also check for signs of age-related deterioration in rubber components and potential corrosion on the underside or exhaust system.
