Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2020 model year cars.
- 12V Battery DrainModerate
The LS 500h's compact 12V auxiliary battery can be drained by the car's connected systems and telematics if the vehicle is left unused for as little as a week. When voltage drops, the car may refuse to unlock, display multiple warning lights, and reset clock and trip settings. A jump start or battery replacement is then required.
- Air Suspension Strut and Compressor WearSerious
LS Mk5 models fitted with optional air suspension can develop leaking struts as the rubber bladders perish with age and exposure to road salt. Slow air leaks force the compressor to run continuously, eventually burning out the motor. The car sits low overnight and the ride becomes harsh and bouncy.
- Wheel Bearing Noise on High-Mileage ExamplesModerate
The LS Mk5 is a heavy luxury saloon, and the front wheel bearings can develop a growling or humming noise at high mileage. This is most common on cars that have covered significant motorway miles or been driven on poor UK road surfaces.
