2020 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · HV70 DZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-19 showing a pass despite a minor defect related to the nearside front windscreen wiper. This marks the second consecutive test at the same mileage and date, indicating either a retest or a duplicate entry, but the absence of any other defects in that test suggests the car remains mechanically sound. The maintenance trend is stable, with no significant issues reported in the past three annual tests, though the recurring wiper fault implies ongoing attention may be needed for glass cleaning systems. The recorded mileage of 27,149 miles over six years equates to an average of just under 4,525 miles per year—well below the UK average—indicating light usage. This low accumulation is consistent across the history: from 16,152 miles in August 2023 to 21,848 miles in August 2024 (a gain of 5,696 miles), then to 27,149 miles by August 2025 (an increase of 5,301 miles). While the mileage growth appears steady, the two-year gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests raises a question about whether the vehicle was driven regularly during that period, which could suggest long periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the windscreen wiper system in person, particularly the nearside arm and blade assembly, as this component failed twice within the same test cycle. The underlying cause—such as worn linkage, misalignment, or a faulty motor—should be verified. Additionally, given the age and low mileage, the condition of rubber components like suspension bushes, steering joints, and brake hoses should be checked for dry rot or cracking. The absence of structural or drivetrain defects in the records is reassuring, but a thorough inspection of the exhaust system and corrosion around wheel arches is recommended, especially if the car has been stored or driven infrequently.
