2012 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric · GV62 FNW

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend toward improving maintenance standards. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 98,405 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in early 2025, suggesting that the current ownership is proactive in addressing the mechanical requirements over the last eighteen months. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between December 2022 and January 2026, the car covered 17,842 miles, which represents a moderate usage rate of roughly 4,600 miles per annum. This lower accumulation suggests the vehicle was not used for heavy commuting, which can reduce wear on the drivetrain and braking components, though it increases the risk of rubber components and seals degrading if the car sat stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and tyre geometry given the faults recorded in late 2022. The vehicle previously failed due to a structural bulge in the nearside front tyre and uneven wear on multiple tyres, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. While the recent MOT passes are clean, a manual check of the inner tyre edges and control arm bushings is necessary to ensure the previous wear patterns have not returned. The wiper assembly, which was flagged in 2022 and 2024, should be checked for free operation to ensure the motor and linkage are not failing.
