2018 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric · KF18 EYR

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-30 confirmed the vehicle passed with two rear tyres worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This mirrors issues recorded in prior tests, including uneven tyre wear on the nearside rear in 2024-04-17 and 2024-04-04, and front tyre cuts or wear in 2024-04-04 and 2023-05-02. The pattern suggests persistent tyre condition concerns, likely linked to alignment, suspension, or driving habits. Brake-related issues also recur, with front brake pads wearing thin in 2025-05-02 and 2024-04-17, and a pitted front brake disc noted in 2025-05-02. These indicate potential wear on braking components, though no critical failures were recorded in the latest test. The 2024-04-04 MOT failure included a front tyre cut and uneven rear tyre wear, highlighting a history of minor but repeated safety-related defects. The vehicle’s mileage of 62,794 miles over 8 years aligns with average annual usage (around 7,849 miles), suggesting neither excessive wear nor prolonged under-use. However, the recurring tyre and brake issues imply consistent stress on these systems, possibly from aggressive driving, poor maintenance, or underlying mechanical factors. The trend shows no clear improvement in the latest MOT, as tyre wear remains near the legal limit. While brake issues were not flagged in 2026, their prior presence suggests ongoing monitoring is needed.
