Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a hy
When inspecting this specific Lexus CT, check that the rear tyres were replaced following the March 2025 MOT advisory regarding inner edge wear. This specific advisory suggests potential alignment issues or suspension wear that should be addressed to avoid repeating the problem.
Request evidence of hybrid battery health checks, as this is a 13-year-old hybrid vehicle. While the MOT history does not show electrical failures, a service history that includes regular hybrid system inspections is a significant advantage for this model.
As a 1.8L hybrid, this Lexus CT is designed for efficiency, typically sitting in a moderate insurance group and offering competitive fuel economy for urban driving. Tax bands for this 1798cc engine will vary depending on the specific CO2 emissions recorded at registration.
Maintenance costs for Lexus models tend to be predictable, though hybrid-specific components can be more expensive if they require specialist attention. Expect annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, to fall within a mid-range bracket for a premium hatchback.
Pay close attention to the rear suspension and wheel alignment. The March 2025 MOT advisory specifically noted that both nearside and offside rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showing inner edge wear. This is a specific indicator to check for uneven tyre wear patterns on any new rubber.
Additionally, although the registration plate lamp failure from March 2024 was a minor issue, ensure all exterior lighting is fully operational. Given the mileage is approaching 95,000, a thorough check of the braking system and suspension components is advised to ensure no new advisories appear in the next MOT cycle.
This 2013 white Lexus CT hybrid has covered 94,037 miles since its first registration in March 2013. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing tests, with the most recent inspection in November 2025 recording no defects. While there were minor issues regarding tyre wear and a registration plate lamp in 2024 and 2025, the vehicle has maintained a consistent testing record.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Lexus CT to provide a statistical comparison.
