2012 Lexus IS200 2.2L Diesel · LD61 CBX

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 25 October 2025 at 103,561 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced the first recorded defects in several years. Prior to this, the vehicle achieved four consecutive clean passes between 2021 and 2024, suggesting that major mechanical and structural components remained within tolerance levels during that period. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. Between October 2021 at 98,431 miles and October 2025 at 103,561 miles, the car covered 5,130 miles, representing a period of low usage at roughly 1,200 miles per year. This low annual mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but can increase the risk of rubber component degradation and corrosion associated with sitting stationary. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the October 2025 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This uneven wear pattern often indicates misalignment, worn ball joints, or failing arm bushes that require attention. Given the age of the Lexus, a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion and brake line condition is also necessary, as the MOT record does not detail the presence of surface rust or thin metal on the chassis.
