2007 Lexus IS220 2.2L Diesel · FN07 PFA

The Lexus IS220 passed its most recent MOT on 24 November 2023 at 124,696 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The vehicle is currently over two and a half years beyond that last test date, meaning it is untested against the current roadworthiness standard as of July 2026. Recorded mileage rose from 95,053 at the October 2021 test to 113,550 in November 2022, then to 124,696 by November 2023, equating to roughly 6,500 miles per year and matching typical use for a 19-year-old car. Two failed tests appear in the record on 14 November 2022 and 20 November 2023, both at near-identical mileages to the subsequent passes three to four days later, yet the DVSA data lists no defects for either failure, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical rejection. The clean defect history gives no cause to suspect worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components, but the absence of advisories across five years also means wear on consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions was either minimal or not formally noted. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the long lapse since the last MOT. Prior owners kept the mileage low and the test outcomes free of recorded faults, implying reasonable care, though the unexplained fail-pass pairs hint at lax test preparation rather than neglect of core mechanics. Confirm the actual roadworthiness with a fresh MOT before purchase.
