2014 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FG64 DTX

The 2014 Lexus IS presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 6 January 2026 at 152,279 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle has consistently met roadworthiness standards across recent assessments, indicating diligent upkeep of critical safety and mechanical systems. The absence of recurring faults suggests the previous owner addressed consumable wear promptly, maintaining the car in a sound operational state. Accumulating 152,279 miles over twelve years equates to an annual average of roughly 12,690 miles, a figure notably higher than the typical UK average. The mileage progression reveals consistent usage without prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the October 2022 test at 123,935 miles and the November 2024 test at 144,191 miles, the car covered 20,256 miles over twenty-five months, demonstrating sustained high-mileage driving. The most recent interval from November 2024 to January 2026 shows a reduced accumulation of 8,088 miles over fourteen months, suggesting a recent shift toward lighter use. Despite the flawless MOT record, a data anomaly exists in the October 2022 entry where the vehicle failed at 123,935 miles despite recording no defects; this likely indicates an aborted test or administrative error rather than a mechanical fault. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection must focus on components subject to fatigue and wear. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding. Assess the exhaust system for corrosion and inspect the underbody and structural mounting points for rust, as high annual mileage accelerates the degradation of these components.
