2019 Lexus UX 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN69 VMU

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 27 August 2026. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its annual inspections without any recorded failures. However, there is a concerning pattern regarding tyre maintenance, specifically a recurring advisory for the offside rear tyre that has persisted across the last two testing cycles, suggesting a lack of proactive replacement for aging rubber. With a recorded mileage of 58,008 miles over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,287 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for its age and suggests a balanced duty cycle. There are no indications of excessive wear associated with high-mileage fleet use, nor are there signs of the mechanical degradation often found in vehicles that have spent prolonged periods standing. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre condition and wheel alignment. The repeated advisory for the offside rear tyre regarding perishing and cracking indicates that the rubber has degraded due to age or environmental exposure and requires immediate replacement to ensure structural integrity. Furthermore, the history of inner edge wear on both front tyres in 2022 and 2023 suggests a potential misalignment or wear in the front suspension bushes or track rod ends. During a test drive, listen for any unusual humming or vibration and check for uneven tread wear across the width of the remaining rubber to determine if a four-wheel alignment is necessary. Beyond the tyres, it is essential to verify the full service history to ensure calendar-based maintenance has been adhered to. Inspect the brake discs for any signs of surface corrosion or scoring, and ensure the brake pedal feel is firm without shudder, which would indicate warped discs. Given the age of the vehicle, the health of the 12V auxiliary battery should be tested, and the hybrid system cooling vents should be checked for debris to prevent overheating. A thorough physical inspection of the underbody for any signs of corrosion will complete a comprehensive roadworthiness evaluation.
