2013 Lexus IS 300H F Sport CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN63 CJZ

The vehicle presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 54,346 miles, just five months ago. No defects or advisories were recorded during this inspection, nor in any of the preceding four tests. The maintenance trend is unequivocally stable, demonstrating consistent upkeep without any recurring mechanical or structural issues. A single failed test appears on 15 February 2023 at 41,641 miles, though the record shows no defects listed for that failure; the vehicle passed five miles later on the same day with no defects, suggesting a minor rectification or testing anomaly rather than a chronic fault. The mileage accumulation aligns precisely with low-mileage usage, averaging roughly 4,180 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. Between the 2024 test on 29 January at 45,931 miles and the 2025 test on 12 February at 50,487 miles, the vehicle covered 4,556 miles over a thirteen-month period. The subsequent twelve months to the February 2026 test saw a reduced accumulation of 3,859 miles. This pattern confirms light, regular use rather than prolonged standing, which bodes well for the drivetrain and prevents the moisture-related corrosion often seen in vehicles left idle for extended periods. Despite the absence of flagged defects, a physical inspection must account for the specific wear patterns of a low-mileage hybrid of this age. Buyers should closely examine the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, as light usage often prevents the pads from wiping the discs clean, leading to pitting and binding calipers despite passing the roller test. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for perishing and cracking, a common issue on vehicles that cover short distances where rubber components never reach optimal operating temperature to stay supple. The hybrid battery's state of health demands a diagnostic scan, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to cell imbalance, while the exhaust system and structural underbody require inspection for any signs of corrosion, verifying that the pristine MOT record translates to solid physical condition beneath the chassis.
