2014 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FP63 ANR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward mechanical wear that requires immediate attention. The most recent test in February 2026 at 88,705 miles flagged multiple advisories regarding worn front tyres and degraded lower suspension arm bushes. This marks a departure from the clean records seen between 2020 and 2024, indicating that age-related components are now reaching the end of their service life due to age. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage from the 39,011 miles recorded in 2017 to the 88,705 miles in 2026. While the low mileage generally preserves the drivetrain and interior, the long intervals between some tests, such as the gap between 2019 and 2020, can lead to the dry rotting or degradation of rubber-based components despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The worn nearside and central lower suspension arm bushes identified in the 2026 test will lead to poor handling and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. Furthermore, the front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in 2025 at 82,971 miles; the buyer should check the current thickness and condition of these discs to ensure they have not thinned beyond minimum limits. Given that the front tyres were near the legal limit in the latest test, a full alignment check is necessary to confirm that the worn bushes are not causing premature failure of new rubber.
