2015 Lexus LS 5.0L Hybrid electric · L1 APV

The vehicle passed its MOT very recently on 5 May 2026, but the test result highlights immediate attention is required for the tyres. The tester recorded that the nearside rear tyre is perished and wearing low, while the nearside front tyre is worn on the outer edge. The mileage sits at 87,041 miles, which is roughly typical for an 11-year-old Lexus LS. However, the usage pattern has shifted significantly; the car covered over 12,700 miles in the last year alone compared to an average of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles in previous years. This recent spike in mileage suggests the vehicle is currently under heavier use, which naturally accelerates the degradation of consumables. There is a clear and recurring pattern of tyre and brake defects in the history. In 2022, the front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and the front discs were lipped. By 2024, the focus of wear had shifted to the rear, with the brake discs noted as worn, pitted, or scored, and both rear tyres showing cracking or perishing. The 2026 result now shows a mix of these issues returning, with the rear tyre again suffering from perishing and the front tyre showing edge wear. The condition trend appears stable in terms of major mechanical safety, as the car consistently passes its tests, but the history shows a cycle of recurring wear on the same components.
