2019 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric · GH04 HOS

The 2019 Lexus RX maintains a solid roadworthiness status, passing its most recent MOT on 2026-06-03 at 44,899 miles. The maintenance trend is generally stable, though a recurring pattern of tyre wear and a new suspension advisory warrant attention. The tester flagged an Offside Front suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement during the latest inspection. This marks a shift from the previous clean bills of health, introducing a mechanical wear item that requires monitoring. Tyre wear advisories have appeared consistently, indicating a cycle of edge wear that the previous owner addressed reactively rather than proactively through alignment checks. Accumulating 44,899 miles over seven years yields an annual average of roughly 6,414 miles, a typical figure for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows steady, consistent use without significant gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation. Between 2022-06-21 and 2023-06-13, the vehicle covered 4,948 miles. The following year, from 2023-06-13 to 2024-06-20, it added 5,813 miles, and between 2024-06-20 and 2025-06-05, it accrued 5,725 miles. The most recent period, from 2025-06-05 to 2026-06-03, saw a slight uptick to 6,254 miles. This consistent accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged standing, keeping consumables and drivetrain components in active service. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry and tyre condition. The recurring advisories for tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge point to potential misalignment or worn tracking components. The latest advisory regarding the Offside Front suspension arm pin or bush suggests the initial stages of deterioration. A buyer must check for uneven wear patterns on the inner and outer edges of the front tyres, which would confirm alignment issues or degraded suspension bushes. Inspect the front suspension components for play, paying close attention to the condition of the bushes and ball joints. While the tyre wear represents consumable degradation, the suspension bush wear indicates a developing mechanical fault that will require rectification to prevent further tyre degradation and maintain structural integrity.
