2021 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · GU71 AHF

The vehicle is in a stable roadworthy condition with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 30 September 2025 at 12,710 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative correction rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage is exceptionally low for a five year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,542 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 10,640 miles and the September 2025 test at 12,710 miles, the car covered only 2,070 miles. This pattern indicates the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys. Low usage often leads to specific degradation that MOT tests may not immediately flag. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as inactive braking systems are prone to seizing. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or perishing due to age rather than tread wear. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes or structural corrosion is positive. However, given the low annual mileage, verifying the condition of the battery and ensuring the engine oil has been changed according to time intervals rather than mileage is essential. The record implies a well-kept vehicle, but the physical inspection must focus on the risks associated with long-term standing.
