2007 Lexus LS 4.6L Petrol · GU57 VZG

The vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 28 August 2025 at 62,758 miles, yet the maintenance trend reveals a stable but deteriorating condition regarding corrosion. The tester flagged corroded brake pipes and hoses on all four corners, alongside a corroded rear sub-frame and offside rear sill. These structural and hydraulic defects have recurred annually since at least 2022 without repair, suggesting previous owners deferred remedial work despite clear advisories. Mileage accumulation is minimal for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. Between the August 2021 and August 2025 tests, the car covered only 5,871 miles. This low usage intensity often explains the prevalence of surface corrosion and perishing rubber components, as infrequent driving prevents fluids from circulating and protective coatings from maintaining their effectiveness. You should commission a professional inspection of the underbody and braking system immediately. The persistent corrosion on brake lines poses a significant risk if left unchecked, while the rear sub-frame and sill corrosion require assessment to ensure structural rigidity remains intact. Furthermore, the 2025 test identified a severely deteriorated offside rear constant velocity boot and worn front lower suspension arm bushes, indicating that rubber components and suspension joints are now reaching the end of their service life.
