2009 Lexus IS220 2.2L Diesel · FP09 ODE

The 2009 Lexus IS220 presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 143,781 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT results since at least 2021. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the available history, indicating consistent upkeep by previous keepers. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old vehicle. The record shows 106,104 miles in October 2021 rising to 143,781 by November 2025, an accumulation of roughly 9,400 miles per year. No abrupt gaps or sudden high-use spikes appear between tests; the step from 110,309 miles in October 2022 to 127,566 miles in December 2023 reflects normal seasonal variation rather than neglected storage or hard commercial use. Given the absence of flagged items across five successive passes, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable and age-related components not always captured by MOT scope. At 143,781 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness warrant physical measurement. Drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions hardware on the 2.2 diesel unit should be checked for fatigue. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes remains a latent risk on older Japanese saloons despite clean test sheets. The lack of recorded advisories suggests the vehicle was presented in sound order, yet a pre-purchase appraisal of underbody integrity and tyre sidewall condition remains prudent before completion.
