2007 Lexus GS300 3.0L Petrol · GR07 NFK

The vehicle last passed an MOT in October 2022 at 87,371 miles, but this test is now over three years old, meaning its current roadworthiness is unverified. The historical trend shows a mix of minor defects and consumable wear, with no serious structural failures or recurring major faults. However, the significant gap since the last official test introduces considerable uncertainty, as components like brakes, suspension, and tyres may have deteriorated substantially in the interim. The recorded mileage of 87,371 over approximately 19 years averages just 4,598 miles annually, which is exceptionally low. This suggests either very light use or extended periods of inactivity, both of which can accelerate the degradation of rubber components, fluids, and certain metal parts through corrosion or seizing. The mileage jump from 78,119 in November 2021 to 87,371 in October 2022 represents nearly 9,252 miles in one year, a notable increase from the prior average, but this single year’s data is insufficient to confirm a sustained change in usage pattern. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection focused on the braking system and lighting. The history flags front brake disc wear in 2018 and thin rear brake pads in 2021, indicating these components are wear items that will require immediate assessment for thickness and condition. The repeated advisories regarding headlamp lens defects in 2020 and 2018 suggest possible moisture ingress or lens degradation, which must be checked for clarity and correct aim. Furthermore, the 2021 test noted that an engine cover and under trays were fitted, obscuring some testable components; these panels must be removed for a complete inspection of the engine bay and underbody, including suspension bushes, exhaust integrity, and any signs of structural corrosion. The low mileage does not guarantee preservation, as age-related perishables like coolant hoses, drive belts, and suspension dampers may be past their service life.
