2013 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric · LL63 FNF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass in October 2025 at 87,753 miles. This represents an improving trend in maintenance after a period of neglect in late 2024. While the vehicle previously failed due to multiple suspension and tyre issues, the lack of any defects in the most recent test indicates that the previous owner addressed the flagged faults and brought the car back to standard. At 13 years old with 87,753 miles, the Lexus averages approximately 6,750 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a premium SUV of this age. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,500 miles driven between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 5,600 miles covered in the year leading the latest test. This relatively low mileage suggests the drivetrain has not been under extreme stress, though the rubber-based components remain susceptible to age-related degradation regardless of distance driven. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension geometry, as the 2024 failure revealed widespread wear across suspension arm pins and bushes across both axles. Although the vehicle passed since, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the rubber components may be nearing the end of their functional life. The buyer should also inspect the front brake discs, which have been noted as worn or pitted in both 2023 and 2024, indicating they are approaching their minimum thickness and may require replacement soon to ensure consistent stopping performance.
