Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a
When inspecting this specific Lexus, pay close attention to the tyres. The 2024 MOT failure noted both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges, which can sometimes indicate alignment issues. Ensure the current tyres have ample tread and even wear across the surface.
Given the hybrid powertrain, you should verify that the hybrid system has been serviced according to the manufacturer's schedule, though this cannot be confirmed via MOT records alone. Check the condition of the windscreen wipers and blades, as these were a recorded failure point in the previous year's test.
As a 3.5L hybrid, running costs will be influenced by the large engine capacity, though the electric assistance helps mitigate fuel consumption in urban environments. Tax bands for this model vary based on specific CO2 emissions, so a direct check of the current V5C is advised.
Insurance groups for the RX are typically mid-to-high due to the vehicle's size and hybrid technology. Maintenance costs for Lexus models are generally predictable, but ensure you budget for specialist hybrid component inspections. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,400-£1,800 depending on annual mileage and driving style.
Focus your inspection on the front tyres and wheel alignment. The 2024 MOT failure specifically cited edge wear on both front tyres, so look for any signs of uneven scrubbing or misalignment. Also, check the windscreen wiper assembly to ensure they clear the glass effectively, addressing the failure noted in September 2024.
Beyond the MOT history, inspect the silver paintwork for any signs of stone chips or scratches common on larger SUVs. Check the hybrid battery cooling vents for any obstructions to ensure the system operates efficiently.
This 2017 Lexus RX hybrid shows a very low mileage profile, having covered just 26,025 miles in approximately nine years. While the 2024 MOT record shows a failure due to tyre wear and wiper blades, the most recent 2025 test was passed with no defects. The vehicle's mileage is substantially lower than the model average of 7,845 miles per year.
The Lexus RX shows a high aggregate MOT pass rate of 93.8% across 17,892 analysed vehicles, suggesting a generally reliable model.

The motorised tailgate can become slow, jerky, or fail to latch properly as the powered struts and spindle mechanisms wear with age.
- Front Lower Arm Bush WearModerate
The RX is heavy, and its front lower-arm bushes can soften or tear, leading to vague steering, inner tyre wear, and a dull thump over poor surfaces.
