2008 Lexus LS460 4.6L Petrol · GV08 LNA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the maintenance history reveals a period of deteriorating condition followed by reactive repairs. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 108,578 miles passed, the preceding two consecutive failures in August and April indicate a significant lapse in proactive upkeep. The presence of an electronic stability control fault fault and multiple suspension bushing failures in early 2025 suggests that critical components were only addressed once they reached a legal failure point rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. However, the data shows an unusual cluster of testing activity between February 2024 and September 2025, where the car covered only 16 miles across three separate MOT appointments. This stagnant mileage, combined with the year-year gap between 2023 and 2024, suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the corrosion of brake surfaces despite the low odometer reading. A prospective buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a persistent trend of worn control arm bushes dating from 2023 through 2025. Although these were flagged for repair, the recurring nature of these faults on an LS460 suggests high wear on the front assembly. The front brake discs were flagged as pitted and scored in 2025; the buyer should verify if these were actually replaced rather than merely cleaned. Furthermore, the buyer must confirm that the electronic stability control system is fully functional, as the previous failure in August 2025 indicates a sensor or module fault that impacts vehicle safety.
