2021 Lexus UX 300E Electric · FN71 YFY

The 2021 Lexus UX 300e demonstrates a stable, unremarkable maintenance trend based on its three most recent MOT tests, with the latest assessment completed on 12 May 2026 at 39,956 miles returning a pass with zero recorded defects. The two preceding tests, carried out on 13 October 2025 at 38,932 miles and 24 October 2024 at 29,240 miles, also recorded no defects or advisories, meaning no recurring mechanical, structural, or safety issues have been flagged during official DVSA inspections across the available history. The vehicle’s recorded mileage aligns closely with typical UK usage for its age, sitting at roughly 8,000 miles per year over its five-year lifespan. There is a notable variance in annual mileage accumulation between test intervals: between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests, the vehicle covered almost 9,700 miles in just under 12 months, a higher than average rate that placed additional stress on consumable and wear components during that period. The subsequent seven months between the October 2025 and May 2026 tests saw only 1,024 miles added, indicating a recent shift to far lighter use that may reflect a change in ownership or driving habits. While no defects have been recorded across the MOT history, the period of accelerated use between late 2024 and late 2025 warrants targeted in-person checks for wear beyond the minimum MOT pass thresholds. A buyer should inspect the front and rear brake pads and discs for uneven wear or thinning, as the high mileage accumulated in that 12-month window may have brought these components close to their replacement interval despite passing the October 2025 test. All four tyres should be checked for tread depth, sidewall cracking, and puncture repairs, as the above-average use in that period may have reduced their remaining service life. The suspension system, including coil springs, anti-roll bar bushes, and shock absorbers, should also be assessed for signs of wear or minor corrosion, as higher annual mileage increases fatigue in these components even when no defects are flagged during standard MOT inspections. As an electric vehicle, the UX 300e’s high-voltage battery, electric drivetrain, and charging system are not assessed as part of standard MOT testing, so a buyer should arrange an independent EV-specific inspection to confirm battery health, charging port functionality, and motor performance, ensuring no latent issues exist that are not captured in the official MOT record.
