2007 Lexus LS 4.6L Petrol · GR07 VOG

The vehicle remains roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend despite its age. The most recent test conducted in November 2024 at 104,884 miles resulted in a pass with minor advisories regarding a deteriorated registration plate and light misting on the offside rear shock absorber. This indicates that while minor components are beginning to show signs of age, the vehicle has not suffered from significant mechanical failures or safety-critical defects in the recent years of testing. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old Lexus, averaging approximately 5,520 miles per year. Between November 2020 and November 2024, the car covered only 11,330 miles, suggesting infrequent use or long periods of inactivity. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and potential fluid seal issues, which aligns with the minor advisory noted recently in the record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the offside rear shock absorber, as the oil misting noted in 2024 is a precursor to a total seal failure. The history from 2020 also showed three tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edges, which may indicate past alignment issues or neglect of basic maintenance intervals. Given the low mileage and high age, it is essential to inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and to check the underbody for corrosion, as these components age through time regardless of the distance driven.
