2017 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FV67 KPO

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by a series of clean passes punctuated by a brief period of minor wear on rear consumables and suspension. The most recent test on 10 November 2025 was completed with no defects recorded, indicating a return to a clean bill of health following advisories in 2023 and 2024 regarding tyre condition and suspension bushings. The recorded mileage of 46,445 miles is low for a nine-year-old vehicle, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 5,161 miles. While this suggests limited wear on the engine and transmission, low-usage profiles can often lead to the degradation of rubber components. This is reflected in the historical flagging of the rear suspension arm pins and bushes, which can perish or harden regardless of mileage if the vehicle undergoes infrequent use. Inspection should focus on the rear trailing arms, as the 2024 test specifically identified worn pins or bushes. During a test drive, listen for any knocking or thumping sounds emanating from the rear of the chassis when traversing speed bumps or undulating road surfaces. Any instability or a feeling of the rear end wandering under braking or acceleration may indicate that these suspension components still require attention, despite the clean result of the latest test. Attention should also be paid to the rear tyres, given the history of edge wear and punctures recorded in 2023 and 2024. Check the current tread depth and look for irregular wear patterns across the width of the tyre, as this can be a symptom of lingering suspension misalignment or worn bushings. Ensure that the tyres currently fitted are of a consistent brand and age to ensure balanced handling across the rear axle.
