2014 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN14 DGO

The 2014 Lexus IS presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 145,086 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no advisories or failures flagged at any stage. Recorded mileage stands at 145,086 against a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,090 miles per year, which is high for its class and points to sustained regular use rather than prolonged standing. The DVSA data shows a gap between the September 2021 test at 101,400 miles and the September 2022 test at 105,131 miles, then a sharp rise to 136,442 miles by October 2024 and 145,086 by October 2025. The sparse four-entry record gives little granular detail, but the absence of defects across all tests suggests basic upkeep was maintained. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage, as high annual use accelerates wear on these items even when MOT testers log no fault. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be checked, particularly around sills and subframes, since the record offers no commentary on hidden rust. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners addressed consumables before each test, yet the high mileage means drivetrain components and exhaust emissions systems carry above-average fatigue risk. Verify service history against the 8,600-mile annual jump seen after 2022 to confirm intervals were honoured.
