2016 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · FN66 APO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred consumable repairs. The most recent test conducted in May 2026 at 89,571 miles flagged multiple defects, including a worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush and issues across three different tyres. While the vehicle passed, the accumulation of these advisories suggests that the previous owner was waiting for component failure or MOT deadlines to address routine mechanical wear rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,00 miles per annum. Between the March 2022 test at 46,311 miles and the May 2026 test at 89,571 miles, the car covered roughly 43,000 miles over four years. This steady usage profile indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to dry-rot, but it also explains the gradual degradation of rubber-based suspension components and brake hardware seen in the later records. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension, specifically checking the condition of the offside lower arm bush noted in the 2026 record. The recurring reports of thinning tyres and perished rubber across 2024, 2025, and 2026 indicate a full set of tyres is likely required immediately to ensure safety. Furthermore, the 2023 report of thin brake pads and pitted discs at 58,016 miles necessitates a close check of the current braking system to ensure components have been replaced and have not become further corroded since that inspection.
