2015 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · FG65 UBV

This 2015 Lexus NX has passed every recorded MOT, but the advisory notes reveal a clear pattern of recurring wear on the braking system and tyres. The most recent test in December 2025 flagged a front brake disc that is worn, both rear tyres sitting close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear, and a nail embedded in the offside front tyre. Looking back, the braking components have been repeatedly noted, with rear pads running thin in late 2024 and both front and rear discs showing wear and scoring in late 2022. This consistent focus on brakes and tyres points to a worsening trend in consumable condition, suggesting these parts are being driven to their service limits rather than being replaced proactively. At roughly fifteen thousand miles per year, the recorded mileage is high for an eleven-year-old vehicle. This level of sustained use typically accelerates wear on friction components, suspension bushings, and drivetrain parts. While the engine and transmission have not triggered MOT failures, the high annual distance means underlying wear is likely present even where it has not yet been formally recorded. The mileage pattern suggests regular, possibly demanding use rather than long periods of standing, which aligns with the repeated brake and tyre advisories. As a buyer, your primary concern should be the braking system and tyre condition. The repeated disc and pad wear advisories indicate the brakes may be nearing or just past their optimal service window, and the uneven rear tyre wear could point to alignment issues or suspension wear that needs addressing.
