2016 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · LS04 JAS

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, though the most recent inspection indicates a decline in consumable maintenance standards. While the car achieved clean passes between 2021 and 2024, the October 2025 test at 44,130 miles introduced the first recorded advisories regarding all four tyres being worn to the legal limit and exhibiting uneven wear. This suggests a shift from a stable maintenance trend to one of neglected alignment or tyre management. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per annum. The data shows consistent low-intensity usage, with a gap of only 1,172 miles between October 2022 and October 2023, and another 4,230 miles covered in the year leading to the 2024 test. This pattern reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake seizing if the vehicle has sat for long periods between these short-distance trips. A buyer must inspect the suspension and geometry specifically due to the inner and outer edge wear flagged in the 2025 test. Such uneven tyre wear typically points to incorrect camber, worn ball joints, or failing suspension bushings that require professional attention to prevent premature replacement of new tyres. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often allows surface rust to build up on the rotors.
