2008 Lexus RX 400 3.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · LN57 BAV

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile with no recorded defects across the last five years of MOT testing. The most recent inspection on 30 January 2026 at 147,093 miles resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. This indicates a reliable trend of compliance, as the vehicle has successfully cleared every annual test since at least January 2022 without any flagged issues regarding structural integrity, braking efficiency, or lighting. The mileage accumulation appears steady and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between February 2025 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 2,157 miles. Looking at the broader history, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,172 miles per year since its first recorded test in this sequence. This consistent usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which helps prevent seal degradation and fluid contamination. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the absence of advisories for consumable components like brake pads, discs, or suspension bushes does not guarantee their current condition. Given the vehicle is 18 years old, a physical inspection should focus on potential age-related deterioration that MOT testers might not flag during a standard inspection. Specifically, check for corrosion on the underside of the chassis and exhaust system, and examine the condition of the suspension bushings and coil springs. The buyer should also verify the service history to complement this clean MOT record. While the MOT shows no failures, it does not cover mechanical health such as engine oil consumption, transmission smoothness, or the condition of the hybrid/drivetrain components. A thorough check of the tyre tread depth and the condition of the wiper blades is also advised to ensure the vehicle meets standard roadworthiness beyond the basic MOT criteria.
