2014 Lexus LS 4.6L Petrol · L2 MAS

The most recent MOT from November 2025 shows the first recorded defects in several years, with the vehicle passing despite thinning front brake pads and a nearside front tyre showing signs of cracking or perishing. This marks a transition from a previously clean history to one where age-related maintenance is becoming necessary. With roughly 5,891 miles covered per year, this vehicle has significantly lower mileage than average for a 12-year-old car. While this implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the presence of a perishing tyre suggests the car may have experienced periods of standing idle. Low mileage can often lead to rubber components degrading due to age rather than use. The condition trend is currently moving from stable to requiring attention. The recent findings suggest that while the vehicle has been lightly used, the consumables are now reaching the point where they need replacement due to their age. When inspecting the car, you should first check all tyres for similar signs of cracking or perishing on the sidewalls. You should also closely examine the remaining brake pad thickness and the surface condition of the brake discs.
