2020 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LM20 EVP

A consistent record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent history, following a single failure in June 2023. The most recent test on 12 June 2026 returned no defects, mirroring the results from the 2024 and 2025 inspections. This pattern shows a stable trend of roadworthiness, with the only recorded issue being a major failure involving a cut in the nearside rear tyre that reached the cords, which was rectified to secure the pass on 9 June 2023. The vehicle's usage profile is characterised by low annual mileage, averaging approximately 5,932 miles per year over its six-year lifespan. With a recorded mileage of 35,595 at the time of the latest test, the accumulation is significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of use typically results in less wear on heavy drivetrain components and engine internals, though it can sometimes lead to less frequent replacement of consumables or less regular exercise of various mechanical systems compared to high-mileage motorway vehicles. Given the specific failure recorded in 2023, a prospective buyer should verify the current condition of all four tyres, specifically inspecting the sidewalls for any cuts, bulges, or signs of perishing. While the MOT history shows no recurring issues with the braking system or suspension, the low mileage profile warrants a close inspection of the brake discs for surface corrosion or uneven wear, which can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. During a test drive, listen for any irregular knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes or coil springs, and check for any binding or judder when applying the brakes to ensure the system remains responsive. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding oil misting, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion suggests that no immediate mechanical interventions have been flagged by the DVSA in recent years. However, because the record is primarily defined by its cleanliness, the buyer should still perform a visual check of the underbody for any signs of fluid leaks or early-stage corrosion on the subframe and exhaust components, as these are not always captured in a standard MOT if they do not yet meet the threshold for a failure or advisory.
