2007 Lexus RX400 H SE CVT 3.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · GR57 XRW

The 2026‑01‑10 MOT passed the 2007 Lexus RX400 H SE CVT with a minor exhaust leak at the middle pipe bracket, confirming current roadworthiness despite recurring mechanical concerns. The test shows a stable maintenance trend, as defects have not escalated since the 2025 inspection. Mileage has risen from 48,436 miles in September 2012 to 215,729 miles by January 2026, averaging 11,354 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 19‑year‑old vehicle. The jump from 107,632 miles in April 2018 to 116,080 miles in July 2019 represents an 8,448‑mile increase over roughly 15 months, indicating periods of more intensive use. Later, mileage grew to 144,510 miles by January 2025, a 28,430‑mile rise over three years, showing consistent accumulation without abrupt spikes. Recurring issues centre on suspension components, with front lower arm rubber bushes deteriorating on multiple occasions and rear brake discs showing pitting and scoring but never being declared seriously weakened after 2023. Tyre condition is uneven, featuring a cut on the offside rear tyre in 2019 and perishing on the offside rear tyre in 2025, while the exhaust leak at the middle pipe bracket persists as a minor advisory. A buyer should therefore inspect the front and rear suspension bushes for excessive play, examine the brake discs for deep scoring or cracks, verify tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, and check the exhaust system for leaks at the middle pipe bracket, all of which are highlighted by the historical record.
