2017 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LC67 ENT

This Lexus NX has demonstrated a consistently clean MOT record over its recent history, with the most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 53,143 miles showing no defects or advisories. The vehicle has passed every annual inspection since at least 2021 , with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures, structural corrosion, or safety-critical advisories. The absence of even minor faults in the past five tests suggests either meticulous maintenance by previous owners or, more likely, a combination of the Lexus’ robust build quality and relatively light use. There is no indication of worsening issues—quite the opposite, as the lack of advisories or repairs over time implies stable condition, assuming no hidden damage from off-road use or neglect. The mileage progression reveals a vehicle that has been driven sparingly, accumulating just 53,143 miles in nine years , or roughly 5,900 miles annually . This is well below average for its age, with no sudden spikes or drops between tests—mileage increased steadily from 23,567 miles in November 2021 to 53,143 miles in November 2025 . Such low mileage typically means fewer worn consumables, though it also raises questions about whether the car has been stored for extended periods without regular running. If the battery has been neglected, starter motor or electrical system issues could emerge. The lack of mileage also means components like suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyres may have been replaced less frequently than in a higher-mileage example, so a buyer should verify their current condition. Given the pristine MOT history, a prospective purchaser should focus their inspection on areas less likely to be caught in a basic test. Check the suspension components —specifically the front and rear coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—for signs of fatigue or oil leakage, as these are often overlooked in annual tests. The brake system should be scrutinised beyond the MOT’s basic checks: inspect for uneven wear on discs and pads, binding calipers, or fluid leaks, which could indicate past neglect. Underbody corrosion is another critical area, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts, as Lexus models can still develop surface rust despite their reputation for durability. Finally, verify the exhaust emissions system —while the MOT may have passed, a clogged DPF or failing catalytic converter could cause future failures, especially if the car has been driven short distances frequently. The absence of advisories in the MOT history is a strong indicator of a well-maintained vehicle, but the low mileage means some components may have been underused rather than preserved. A thorough pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is advisable to confirm there are no latent issues in systems not routinely tested by the DVSA.
