2024 Lexus NX 350H Takumi CVT Hybrid electric (clean) · FN24 YNK

The vehicle has no recorded MOT history with the DVSA, which is expected for a 2024‑model car as the first statutory test is not required until the third year of registration. Consequently there is no evidence of pass or fail results, and no trend can be established from the MOT data; the absence of recorded defects simply reflects that the car has not yet been subjected to a formal inspection rather than indicating either a stable or deteriorating maintenance pattern. Mileage information is not supplied, so an objective assessment of annual usage cannot be made. For a two‑year‑old Lexus NX 350h the typical driver would have accumulated between eight and twelve thousand miles per annum, giving an expected total of roughly sixteen to twenty‑four thousand miles. If the odometer reads significantly lower than this, the car may have been lightly used or possibly stored for periods, which can introduce age‑related wear such as rubber hardening and fluid degradation. Conversely, a reading well above the expected range would suggest high mileage for its age and could imply accelerated wear on the hybrid battery, CVT, and suspension components. Obtaining a verified service book or dealer log is essential to confirm the true mileage and to corroborate any recorded maintenance. Given the lack of MOT data and the probable low or moderate mileage, the buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot, or bulges and confirm the DOT code to ensure the tyres are not older than six years, as rubber can perish even on unused wheels. Check the 12‑volt auxiliary battery for terminal corrosion and test the resting voltage; a healthy battery should read around 12.6 volts, and the hybrid high‑voltage pack should be inspected for any warning lights or error codes on the instrument cluster. Verify that the CVT fluid has been changed in accordance with Lexus recommendations (typically every 60 000 miles or four years) and look for signs of fluid leakage around the transmission housing and coolant lines. Finally, conduct a thorough test‑drive to evaluate the hybrid system and transmission behaviour. Listen for any clunk, whine or shudder when the vehicle accelerates, decelerates, or switches between electric and gasoline propulsion, as these can indicate worn CVT belts or failing clutch packs. Observe the braking response for any pulsation, uneven pedal feel or excessive noise that might reveal corroded discs or sticking calipers, and check that the brake pedal feels firm after a short drive, indicating fresh brake fluid. Inspect the suspension for any excessive play in the bushings, worn coil springs, or uneven tyre wear that could point to hidden damage from prolonged standing. Confirm that all emission‑related components, such as the catalytic converter and exhaust manifold, are free of rust and that the onboard diagnostics report no faults before proceeding with the purchase.
