2017 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric · LP66 ACJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, despite recent signs of age-related wear. The most recent test in February 2026 at 50,715 miles resulted in an advisory for front brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates the beginning of a service cycle for the braking system following a period of clean records in the 2025 test. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,635 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with the car covering only 5,039 miles between February 2025 and another 5,039 miles by early 2026. However, the significant gap between the December 2021 and January 2023 tests suggests the car may have sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake fluid rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking assembly to determine if the pitting and scoring on the discs require immediate replacement. The 2024 test at 40,270 miles flagged a perished tyre on the offside rear, which is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where rubber hardens before wearing out. Verify all tyres for sidewall cracking and check the suspension bushings for signs of perishing, as these components degrade over time regardless of the miles driven.
