2019 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · LR69 KNF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a minor downward trend regarding rubber-based components. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 30,784 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a nearside rear tyre reaching the cords and a perishing offside rear tyre. While the vehicle passed immediately upon re-test, the presence of these faults suggests that the tyres are suffering from age-related degradation despite low annual mileage. The mileage profile is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 15,179 miles and August 2023 at 20,919 miles, the car covered over 5,000 miles, followed by a further drop in usage with roughly 5,700 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This low-frequency use often leads to mechanical issues such as brake caliper seizing or flat-spotting if the vehicle remains stationary for long periods without regular exercise. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sidewalls to check for further cracking or perishing on all four tyres, as the recurring advisories in 2024 and 2025 indicate the rubber compound is reaching the end of its life. The inspector should also verify the braking system for binding calipers, given the low mileage pattern which often hides rust buildup. The record shows no structural corrosion or suspension-related failures, suggesting the core integrity of the Lexus remains sound.
