2015 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric · LT65 OMM

The most recent MOT from August 2025 was a pass, but only after an initial failure. The vehicle failed due to both the dipped and main beams on the nearside front headlamp not working, alongside a cut in the nearside rear tyre. There is a clear and recurring pattern regarding the offside rear tyre. Between 2022 and 2024, the MOT history consistently flagged the inner edge of this tyre as being worn close to the legal limit. This persistent wear on the inner edge strongly suggests a long-term wheel alignment or tracking issue that has not been fully rectified. The overall condition trend appears stable, although the recent failure for basic lighting suggests a slight decline in preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage of 40,605 miles is very low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,691 miles per year. While this indicates light use, such low mileage can sometimes imply long periods of standing, which may lead to different wear patterns than a high-mileage car, such as perished rubber components or battery degradation. A buyer should first inspect the inner edges of all tyres to see if the alignment issue persists. You should also check the overall condition of the tyre sidewalls for cracking or age-related degradation due to the low annual usage.
