2012 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · GV12 ABO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑04‑03 at 65,281 miles, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the maintenance record shows an inconsistent trend with a 2026‑03‑30 failure that was resolved before the latest test, indicating that repairs were made but not continuously applied. At 14 years old the car has recorded 65,281 miles, averaging roughly 4,663 miles per year, which is low for its age; however, a notable acceleration occurred between 27 March 2025 (54,065 mi) and 30 March 2026 (65,146 mi), a rise of 11,081 miles in one year, suggesting a recent period of heavier use that may have contributed to the observed wear. Recurring issues include worn suspension arm pins and bushes, documented in 2025 and persisting through the latest test, sub‑frame corrosion noted but not severe, front brake discs showing wear since 2021 and remaining borderline, tyre cuts in 2025 and 2026 indicating possible neglect, and a parking pedal with slightly low travel that points to a hydraulic concern. A buyer should therefore inspect suspension components for play, verify brake disc thickness and pad condition, examine tyres for cuts and proper tread depth, check headlamp aim and parking brake operation, and look for fresh rust on the sub‑frame. Overall the vehicle is presently passable, but the pattern of intermittent mechanical faults, especially regarding suspension, brakes and tyre integrity, warrants a thorough in‑person inspection to confirm that recent maintenance has fully remedied the underlying deficiencies.
