2017 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FL66 GOX

High annual mileage and a recent advisory regarding tyre integrity define the mechanical profile of this vehicle, which has maintained a relatively consistent roadworthiness record through its latest pass on 10 June 2026. While the history shows a period of clean passes between 2023 and 2025, the most recent inspection flagged a cut in the nearside front tyre. Although the defect was noted as not being deep enough to reach the ply or cords, it represents the most recent point of concern in a history that has otherwise been largely free of structural or mechanical failures, aside from a single windscreen wiper failure in 2022. The vehicle has covered 120,571 miles over approximately nine years, averaging roughly 13,397 miles per year. This level of usage is higher than the typical average for a vehicle of this age and suggests consistent, heavy road use rather than long periods of inactivity. From a mechanical standpoint, this sustained mileage accumulation implies that consumable components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements will have undergone significant cycles of wear. The absence of multi-year gaps in the MOT testing history suggests the vehicle has been in regular circulation throughout its life. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, following the recent advisory regarding the nearside front tyre. During a test drive, it is essential to inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for similar cuts, bulges, or uneven wear patterns, particularly as previous advisories in 2019 indicated both front tyres were wearing close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. Any visible unevenness in tread wear could indicate underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry, such as worn control arm bushes or incorrect camber settings. Given the high mileage, a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension is warranted. Listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces, which could signal worn suspension linkages or shock absorbers. Additionally, check for any steering pull or vibration through the steering wheel at motorway speeds, which may be linked to the tyre condition or potential wheel bearing wear. While the MOT record has been largely clear of major mechanical defects, the cumulative mileage necessitates a close physical inspection of all rubber components and fluid levels to ensure no gradual degradation has occurred.
