2015 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · L29 RDA

The most recent MOT on 2025‑07‑07 recorded a pass, yet the tester flagged an altered internal headlight adjuster, a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit at 3 mm tread depth, and a nearside rear service brake binding without excessive retardation. The 2022‑07‑09 failure due to a rear centre seat belt buckle entrapment has not reappeared, and the subsequent 2023 and 2024 tests showed no defects, indicating the maintenance trend is improving despite the lingering advisories. Mileage accumulation shows a steady pattern: 135 085 mi in July 2022, 139 285 mi in July 2023 (+4 200 mi), 143 595 mi in July 2024 (+4 310 mi), and 147 818 mi in July 2025 (+4 223 mi). Over roughly eleven years this equates to about 13 400 mi per annum, a high figure for a 2015 model that suggests regular, intensive use. The record is dense with annual tests, leaving little gap in the data timeline. A prospective buyer should inspect the headlight adjustment mechanism for smooth operation, examine tyre condition—particularly the front nearside tread depth and rear tyre wear patterns for uneven inner wear—and test the rear service brake for binding and the parking brake for effort within the 16 % threshold. The rear centre seat belt must be verified as fully functional, and suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs should be assessed for wear consistent with the high mileage. Any signs of corrosion or structural fatigue around the rear chassis should also be examined, as the accumulated mileage raises the likelihood of consumable and structural degradation.
