2015 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · KF15 XEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in January 2026 at 75,981 miles passed despite carrying advisories for thin rear brake pads and a worn nearside rear tyre. These specific issues were flagged during a failure in December 2025 at 75,871 miles, indicating that the owner only addressed mechanical and consumable faults after failing the MOT test. The mileage progression is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between December 2023 and December 2024, where the car covered 11,337 miles in a single year. In contrast, the interval between December 2025 and January 2026 shows only 110 miles driven. This low-frequency usage suggests the car may have sat for long periods recently, which can often lead to flat-spotted tyres, seized calipers, or fluid degradation. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as thin front and rear pads have been a recurring issue across multiple tests since 2022. The distorted road wheels noted in 2021 suggest a history of hard impacts or poor kerbing, which warrants checking for alignment issues or suspension component damage. Furthermore, the 2023 failure for an insecure driver's seat and defective wiper blades highlights a lack of basic pre-test inspections. Verify the current condition of all tyres and wipers, as the uneven wear patterns in previous records indicate potential geometry problems or neglect.
