2010 Lexus GS 3.5L Hybrid electric · FG60 WKJ

The most recent MOT on 2 March 2024 recorded a failure for a windscreen obstruction that “significantly affected the driver’s view of the road”. The same date also shows a pass, but the failure entry is the decisive result – the vehicle will need the obstruction cleared before it can be legally driven. A recurring pattern emerges from the earlier tests. In 2021 and again in 2022 the rear tyres were flagged as being “worn close to the legal limit / worn on edge”. By the 2022 test the front anti‑roll bar and rear anti‑roll bar were both noted as corroded, though not yet seriously weakened. An oil leak was also recorded in 2022, described as “not excessive”. No further defects were recorded in the 2023 and 2024 passes, suggesting that no new major problems have appeared since then. Overall the trend is relatively stable: the tyre wear and suspension corrosion were identified in 2022 and have not been reported again, which may indicate that they were addressed or have not progressed to a dangerous level. However, the windscreen obstruction is a fresh safety issue that must be remedied immediately. The mileage of 128,700 mi for a 2010 model works out to about 8 000 mi per year, which is typical for a car of this age.
