2014 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric · FN64 KCC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 65,140 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, suggesting that the mechanical and safety-critical components have been monitored and maintained without any recurring failures or worsening degradation of the systems. The mileage profile is notably low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per annum. Between February 2022 at 48,095 miles and October 2025 at 65,140 miles, the car covered roughly 17,000 miles, maintaining a steady but low-usage pattern. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry during periods of inactivity. Given that the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas susceptible to age rather than high-mile use. Specific attention should be paid to the condition of the way bushes, coil springs, and suspension mounts, which can perish or lose elasticity over time irrespective of distance driven. It is also advisable to inspect the brake discs for corrosion or binding calipers, as low-use vehicles are prone to surface rust and seized pistons if not driven frequently.
