2007 Lexus GS 3.5L Hybrid electric · KY07 ZCW

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-22 showed the vehicle passed with a note about the nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit. This mirrors earlier tyre wear issues, including rear tyres worn on the edge and near the limit in 2025 and 2024. Tyre condition appears to be a recurring concern, potentially indicating alignment problems, uneven wear, or insufficient maintenance. Brake systems show a consistent pattern of issues. In 2025, both front and rear brakes fluctuated or leaked, with one failure citing excessive brake pipe corrosion and another noting a leaking hydraulic brake pipe. These suggest possible corrosion in the braking system, which could compromise safety. While the 2026 MOT did not flag brake defects, the history indicates ongoing risks, particularly with rear brake components. Suspension and chassis corrosion were noted in 2025, including corroded rear inner sills and chassis rails. This raises concerns about structural integrity, especially in older vehicles. The 2025-01-14 MOT also mentioned a nearside rear child seat obstructing belt inspection, which may indicate non-standard modifications or hidden issues.
