2017 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FV17 TVD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 May 2026 at 86,326 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the most recent test introduced an advisory for an offside front tyre showing signs of cracking or perishing. This follows a failure in May 2025 which was rectified immediately for the re-test, suggesting the current owner is reactive to safety-critical defects once they appear. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 17,216 miles between the May 2024 test at 52,105 miles and the May 2025 test at 69,321 miles, followed by another 17,205 miles covered in the final year. This steady usage suggests the car is driven regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of rubber seals and mechanical braking components. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of all tyres, as the record shows recurring issues with rubber degradation, including the cracked offside rear tyre in 2025 and the perishing offside front tyre in 2026. Given the age and mileage, a physical check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these components often begin to wear at this interval. Since no structural corrosion or brake failures have been flagged in the history, the focus should remain on consumable wear and the state of age-related rubber components.
