2012 Lexus RX450H 3.5L Hybrid electric · JE55 SCO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 87,368 miles passed without any defects, indicating that the car meets current regulatory standards. The lack of failures in the November 2024 test at 82,238 miles suggests that the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard, preventing immediate mechanical safety issues. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. There is a notable three-year gap between the August 2021 and 2024 tests, during which the car covered 6,677 miles. Following this period, usage increased slightly, with over 5,000 miles recorded in the final year. This relatively low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the hybrid drivetrain and suspension, though periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system, as the 2021 test already flagged front tyres at 3mm at 75,561 miles. While the record shows no major structural failures, the age of the Lexus RX necessitates a close look at control arm bushes and any potential corrosion on the undercarriage. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check brake calipers for seizing or disc pitting, as these are common issues on vehicles that are not driven frequently.
