2013 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric · LL63 FNP

The 2013 Lexus CT presents a stable and generally well-maintained roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT conducted on 2 December 2025 at 44,169 miles resulting in a pass. The tester flagged a chipped windscreen not affecting the driver's view and noted the front brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. These are minor advisories rather than serious defects, and the overall trend across the last five tests shows a vehicle that has consistently passed with only low-level wear items noted, indicating no worsening mechanical or structural deterioration. The recorded mileage of 44,169 miles over approximately thirteen years equates to roughly 3,398 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression is steady and consistent, moving from 34,431 miles in November 2021 to 44,169 miles by December 2025, suggesting regular but light use rather than long periods of standing. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to perishing of rubber items such as tyres and bushes due to age rather than use. A recurring theme across the MOT history is the condition of the tyres. Advisories for sidewall damage, cracking, or perishing appeared on the front tyres in November 2024 and on the rear tyres in November 2021, with further front tyre sidewall damage noted in November 2023. This pattern suggests the tyres may be suffering from age-related deterioration rather than high-mileage wear, which is consistent with the low annual mileage. A buyer should carefully inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking, perishing, and tread condition, and confirm whether the tyres are of an appropriate age given the vehicle's usage pattern. The front brake discs have appeared as an advisory in both the December 2025 and November 2024 tests, with the most recent noting pitting or scoring. Combined with the advisory for front outer brake pads wearing thin in November 2024, this indicates the front braking system has been a consistent area of attention. A prospective buyer should inspect the front brake discs for scoring depth, check pad remaining thickness, and assess whether the braking system has been recently serviced. The windscreen chip noted in both the 2025 and 2024 tests should also be examined to confirm it has not developed into a crack that could fail a future test.
