2022 Lexus LS 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LS22 LEX

The 2022 Lexus LS presents a clean bill of health on its most recent MOT. The pass recorded on 2 July 2025 at 13,868 miles came with zero defects or advisories, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition at that point. With no prior test history supplied, there is no trend of recurring faults to analyse, and the absence of any flagged items suggests the vehicle has not suffered from chronic mechanical or structural issues during the period covered by the record. The mileage profile is notably low. Covering just 13,868 miles over approximately four years equates to an annual average of roughly 3,467 miles. The single recorded reading, taken on 2 July 2025, aligns with this low-mileage pattern and shows no evidence of rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps. Such light use typically limits wear on consumable components like brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushes, though prolonged periods of inactivity can introduce its own concerns. A buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on components that low-mileage vehicles can deteriorate through age rather than use. Tyres may appear serviceable but could be approaching their age-related replacement window, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perishing or corrosion, particularly if the car has been stored or used predominantly on short trips. Brake discs and calipers merit close attention, as infrequent use can lead to surface corrosion and localised binding that a single clean MOT does not rule out. Structurally, the vehicle's underside and load-bearing points should be inspected for corrosion, especially around suspension mounting points and subframes, even though no advisory was raised. Exhaust emissions were compliant at the last test, but a cold-start check remains worthwhile to confirm the catalytic system is functioning correctly. Overall, the record suggests diligent upkeep, but the limited data and low annual mileage mean a hands-on mechanical inspection is essential to verify long-term durability.
