2008 Lexus RX350 3.5L Petrol · GV08 LNR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing mechanical wear as the car ages. The most recent test in October 2025 at 124,657 miles identified defects in the front suspension arm pin bushes and severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers. While the vehicle passed despite these issues, the entries indicate that the rubber and protective components of the front-end suspension are beginning to reach the end of their functional life. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's eighteen-year age, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered 19,748 miles, representing a steady and predictable usage rate. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest the vehicle was left stationary for long periods, and the clean records from 2021 and 2022 suggest the previous owner maintained a high standard of care before more recent faults emerged. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension and the braking system. The 2025 advisory regarding bushes and dust covers will likely require replacement soon to prevent premature wear on ball joints. Furthermore, the 2024 test noted pitted and scored rear brake discs with signs of binding, which suggests the rear calipers may be seizing or the pistons are sticking. You must verify that the brakes operate freely now and check that the headlamp lenses mentioned in 2023 have been polished or replaced to ensure adequate light output.
