2007 Lexus GS 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LE07 GZL

The 2007 Lexus GS is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2024-08-21 at 129,398 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern over the past two years, with the vehicle passing its last three tests after initial failures in the same year. The fact that it passed both the 2024 and 2023 tests without any defects suggests consistent upkeep and no major mechanical or structural issues requiring attention. The recorded mileage of 129,398 miles over 19 years equates to an average of approximately 6,810 miles per year, which is within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history, and the mileage progression appears steady, with only minor fluctuations between tests. The two consecutive failures in July 2023 and August 2024 occurred at nearly identical mileages, indicating no sudden increase in usage or neglect during that period. Despite the clean MOT results in recent years, the repeated failures in 2023 and 2024—both at the same mileage—warrant close inspection of components that commonly fail in older luxury sedans. Focus should be on the suspension system, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are known wear points on this model. Brake components should also be examined, including calipers and discs, as binding brakes were flagged in the 2024 test. Additionally, check for any signs of structural corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, which can compromise safety and longevity.
