Our Verdict
This 2020 Lexus CT Hybrid offers strong hybrid efficiency but requires careful inspection of recent electrical and safety-related issues. A below-average price could make it a viable option for a cautious buyer.
Negotiate aggressively given the recent MOT failures. Verify that all headlamp repairs (dipped/main beam issues) and TPMS faults have been fully resolved. Check service records for hybrid battery health and inverter maintenance. Be wary of potential hidden electrical system repairs. The black paint may hide bodywork issues - inspect for dents or scratches around the front bumper area.
The 1.8L hybrid engine delivers excellent fuel economy (around 55-60mpg) but will still cost £1,200-£1,500 annually for 10,000 miles. Zero road tax applies due to low emissions. Insurance group 17-19 (estimated £1,000-£1,300/year). Regular hybrid-specific maintenance (battery checks, inverter diagnostics) could add £300-£500/year. Total estimated annual cost: £2,500-£3,300.
Focus on the front headlamps - check for proper alignment and dual beam functionality. Test the tyre pressure monitoring system with a gauge. Inspect the windscreen washer reservoir and plumbing for leaks. Examine the front bumper for damage that might affect headlamp housing. Check hybrid system warning lights on the dashboard. Review service history for any electrical system repairs.
The vehicle has a mixed MOT history with recent failures in lighting systems and tyre pressure monitoring, though it showed no defects in 2024. At 68,865 miles (6 years old), the mileage is slightly above average for its age. The hybrid powertrain and low emissions status provide inherent efficiency benefits.
No aggregate data available for the Lexus CT model, but hybrid systems typically require specialist maintenance.
