2013 Lexus IS 300H Premier CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric · KV63 WCE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 99,793 miles flagged thin front brake pads and worn discs on both sides of the axle. While the vehicle passed, these advisories suggest the braking system is reaching the end of its functional life, following a pattern where the owner only addresses components once they approach failure limits or trigger an MOT advisory. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of a 2013 model, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a clear gap of over 13,000 miles between September 2023 and October 2024, and another 10,700 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This steady usage suggests typical commuting, though the 2024 advisory showing all four tyres worn close to the legal limit and exhibiting uneven edge-wear indicates that basic consumable maintenance was neglected between these annual testing intervals. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and tyre condition. The 2023 and 2024 records highlight recurring issues with sidewall damage, perishing, and uneven wear, which often point to alignment problems or worn suspension bushes. Given that the front brake components now require immediate attention, the buyer should also check for signs of sticking calipers or excessive play in the wheel assembly. No structural corrosion has been noted in the history, but the frequent flagging of minor bulbs and tyres suggests an owner who only performs repairs when the MOT tester highlights a necessity.
