2018 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LT18 XMZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 29 April 2026 at 71,225 miles, which recorded no defects. This latest result suggests that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows a period of minor consumable issues between 2022 and 2025, but the lack of advisories in the most recent test indicates a recent standard of upkeep that has successfully resolved prior wear-related items. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 71,225 miles, averaging roughly 8,900 miles per year. The data shows steady progression through the years, with 6,732 miles covered between May 2025 and April 2026, and 7,295 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This regular usage pattern reduces the likelihood of issues stemming from long periods of inactivity, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre management. The May 2025 test at 64,993 miles flagged imbalanced front brakes and worn front brake discs. While the April 2026 test shows no current defects, a manual check of the brake pad thickness and disc surface for scoring or uneven wear is advisable to ensure the imbalance issue was fully rectified. The history also shows a recurring pattern of tyres reaching legal limits or showing edge wear, specifically in 2022 and 2024. The frequent advisories regarding tyre tread depth and sidewall damage suggest a tendency for the previous owner to run consumables close to their limit. While the 2025 advisory for a cut in the nearside front tyre was not a failure, it highlights a need for the buyer to inspect the current tread depth and sidewall integrity across all four tyres. Given the history of uneven tyre wear, checking the suspension bushes and wheel alignment would be a prudent step to ensure the vehicle is tracking straight and not prematurely wearing the rubber.
