2014 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric · LG14 DLD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The latest test in November 2025 at 133,939 miles identified multiple defects related to braking components and tyres that were overlooked. While the car passed, the presence of thin offside front brake pads and worn discs, along with pitted rear discs, suggests that the current owner only addresses mechanical wear once they approach a failure point or are flagged during an inspection. The recorded mileage of 133,939 miles over 12 years reflects an average annual usage of approximately 11,162 miles, which is consistent with typical UK usage patterns. The data shows steady accumulation, with 8,157 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 7,468 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This consistent progression suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for the health of seals and mechanical components compared to long periods of standing. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The history repeatedly flags issues with low pads, corroded discs, and perished tyres across the 2023 and 2025 tests. You must check for uneven wear on the brake calipers and inspect for lateral cracking in the tyre sidewalls, as the tester specifically noted these issues previously. The recurring deterioration of the rear registration plate across four years indicates a lack of attention to minor cosmetic maintenance, which may mask other neglected areas of the vehicle's exterior.
