2024 Lexus LBX Takumi CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LB24 CWX

The vehicle has no recorded MOT history with the DVSA, meaning no official test outcome is available to establish whether the car has passed, failed or received any advisories. In the absence of any MOT entries it is impossible to comment on a maintenance trend; the lack of data suggests either the car has not yet been presented for an MOT, or the records have not been entered, and therefore the prospective buyer should treat the road‑worthiness status as unknown until a fresh examination is performed. The mileage reading is not supplied, so a direct comparison with the vehicle’s age – a 2024 model now in its second full year of life – cannot be made. For a typical UK driver a 2024 vehicle would be expected to have accumulated between 8 000 and 12 000 miles per annum, giving a rough benchmark of 16 000‑24 000 miles by September 2026. If the odometer shows a figure substantially below this range the car may have been lightly used or stored for periods, which can introduce age‑related deterioration despite low mileage. Conversely, a reading well above the benchmark would indicate high annual usage, potentially accelerating wear on the CVT, suspension components, brake discs and tyre tread, and would merit a more thorough inspection of those systems. Given the absence of MOT data and an unknown mileage, the buyer should conduct a comprehensive visual and functional inspection focused on time‑related wear. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or brittleness, especially if the tyres appear older than three years, as rubber perishes regardless of distance travelled. Check the 12 V battery for signs of sulphation, low electrolyte levels or a weak charge; a battery older than four years often requires replacement even if it still starts the engine. Inspect the under‑carriage for corrosion on the chassis, exhaust hangers and suspension mounting points, and verify that the brake discs are free of heavy rust, scoring or uneven wear that can cause shudder on firm application. Look for any fluid leaks – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid or CVT oil – and confirm that the service book shows calendar‑based fluid changes, particularly the CVT fluid which typically requires replacement every 40‑60 000 miles or every four years, whichever comes first. On a test drive, listen for any clunking or squeaking from the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs or anti‑roll bar links, which may indicate fatigue from prolonged standing or low‑speed mileage. Pay attention to the CVT’s smoothness; any judder, delayed response or unexpected gear‑ratio changes could signal worn clutches or low fluid levels. Observe the braking feel for any pulsation, pull to one side or increased pedal travel, which would suggest warped discs, sticking calipers or deteriorated brake fluid. Finally, verify that all electronic aids – adaptive cruise control, lane‑keeping assist and the infotainment system – operate without fault, as software glitches can arise in newer models that have not been updated through regular servicing. A full pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified MOT centre is strongly recommended before committing to purchase.
