2007 Lexus IS250 2.5L Petrol · FN57 KPE

The 2007 Lexus IS250 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-06-07 at 170,605 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The prior test in 2024-06-07 at 157,166 miles also passed, though a separate entry on the same date shows a failure with no defects listed—potentially a data inconsistency. Subsequent tests in 2023 and 2022 showed consistent passing results, indicating no emerging mechanical issues. The vehicle’s maintenance pattern suggests regular servicing, with annual MOTs aligning with typical usage for its age. Mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of 8,979 miles annually, consistent with the car’s 19-year lifespan. The 2024-06-07 test at 157,166 miles marks a 10,905-mile increase from the 2023-06-13 test, reflecting normal usage. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, though the 2024 failure without defects remains unexplained. The absence of recurring issues in the MOT history implies the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, though older components may still require scrutiny. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these are common failure points in 19-year-old vehicles. The absence of corrosion or structural defects in the MOT records is reassuring, but a physical check of the exhaust system and underbody for hidden rust is advised. While no advisories were flagged, the 2024 failure—despite no defects—warrants attention to ensure no unresolved issues persist. Overall, the car appears mechanically sound but requires careful evaluation of age-related components.
