2019 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric · LR69 LPF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean MOT pass on 15 June 2026 at 173,431 miles. This recent result indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years. While the 2022 and 2023 tests revealed several mechanical failures, the absence of any defects in the most recent inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed outstanding issues and is maintaining the vehicle to passing standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging nearly 25,000 miles per year. A significant surge in usage is evident between September 2023 and June 2026, where the car covered 68,476 miles in just under three years. This rapid accumulation of mileage typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking hardware. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests shows a consistent high-intensity usage pattern throughout the recorded history. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the braking and suspension systems given the historical recurring faults. The October 2022 failure at 79,995 miles highlighted significantly worn front brake discs and fluctuating service brakes, followed by worn discs on the rear. Although these were later rectified, the high mileage necessitates a check for uneven brake pad thickness or sticking calipers. Furthermore, repeated reports of inner-edge tyre wear in 2022 and 2023 suggest persistent alignment issues or worn suspension components that should be verified against the current set of tyres to ensure no further degradation is occurring.
