2007 Lexus LS 4.6L Petrol · GU57 KXN

The 2007 Lexus LS has a recent MOT history showing recurring issues with suspension components, brake systems, and vehicle underbody elements. The most recent MOT on 2025-08-08 recorded multiple suspension bushings and anti-roll bar parts as worn or deteriorated, along with corroded brake pipes and insecure heat shields. These issues were also present in earlier MOTs, suggesting a persistent pattern of wear. A key risk is the repeated corrosion of brake pipes, which were noted in 2023, 2024, and 2025. This could indicate exposure to harsh environments or inadequate maintenance, potentially leading to brake system failure if left unaddressed. Suspension components, including lower and upper arm bushes, anti-roll bar linkages, and ball joint dust covers, have consistently shown deterioration, raising concerns about long-term structural integrity and handling. The trend of issues appears to be worsening. While earlier MOTs (2023–2024) focused on minor wear, the 2025-06-23 failed MOT included more severe problems, such as damaged rear suspension units and corroded brake pipes. The 2025-08-08 MOT also listed similar issues, suggesting that repairs may not have resolved underlying causes. The vehicle’s mileage of 136,133 miles over 19 years equates to roughly 7,165 miles per year, which is typical for its age.
