2016 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FP66 AVW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards suspension-related wear as mileage increases. The most recent test in August 2025 at 96,380 miles identified cracking in the lower arm bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates that the rubber components are beginning to reach the end of their functional life following a period of clean records in 2024. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. There was a significant gap of over 18,000 miles between August 2023 (57,273 miles) and August 2024 (75,529 miles), followed by a similar high accumulation of 20,851 miles in the following year. This recent increase in usage suggests a higher frequency of driving, which explains the accelerated wear observed on the braking and suspension systems noted since 2023. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the history shows recurring issues with ball joints and arm bushes. The 2023 test flagged thin rear pads and pitted discs, which suggests that the braking system may require a comprehensive overhaul if not fully serviced in recent months. Additionally, the 2021 report of perishing tyres and uneven wear on the rear axle indicates that current rubber should be checked for sidewall cracking and alignment issues to ensure the geometry is not causing premature degradation.
