2007 Lexus RX400H 3.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · GP56 VNX

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑08‑19 at 101,004 miles, but the tester flagged several advisories: the rear brake disc shows wear, pitting and very heavy corrosion on the outer faces (1.1.14 (a)(ii)), both front suspension arm pins/bushes are worn (5.3.4 (a)(i)), the rear service brake binds (1.2.1 (f)), and the registration plate lamp is inoperative (4.7.1 (b)(i)). The history shows a stable pattern of gradual wear rather than new failures, indicating that owners have addressed issues as they arose without allowing them to deteriorate further. Mileage accumulates at roughly 5,300 mi per year over 19 years, a low rate for a 2007 model. The jump from 95,060 mi in August 2024 to 101,004 mi in August 2025 represents about 5,944 mi in roughly 11 months, slightly above the long‑term average but still modest. MOT records are dense from 2015 onward, with only a brief gap before 2018, confirming regular testing and a relatively complete data set. A buyer should inspect the rear brake discs for corrosion and scoring, and test for binding when the vehicle is stationary. Front suspension arm pins and bushes need close examination for excessive movement, as they have been repeatedly noted. Verify that the registration plate lamp operates correctly and check the rear service brake for binding. Oil level and condition should be confirmed, given the low‑oil advisories in 2023 and 2024. Front tyres show edge wear close to the legal limit, while rear tyres display cracking and inner‑edge wear; a thorough tyre‑condition check is essential. Note that under‑trays fitted in 2015 may conceal underside corrosion, so a careful underside inspection is advisable.
