2011 Lexus RX450H 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LX11 VLE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding the front suspension. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 106,805 miles passed without defects, it followed a failure just six days prior at 106,766 miles due to a serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber. This indicates a progression from the light oil misting noted in 2023 to a total failure of the component. At 106,805 miles, the artwork RX450h averages approximately 7,120 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage patterns for its age. The mileage accumulation appears steady, with intervals of roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles between annual tests from 2022 to 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme annual mileage, though the age of the components means rubber elements and seals are subject to degradation irrespective of the distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the nearside shock absorber has been properly replaced and that the opposite side is not also showing signs of imminent failure. The matching nature of the shock issues between 2022 and 2025 suggests the system may be reaching the end of its service life. Additionally, the 2022 advisories regarding thin rear brake pads and uneven tyre wear indicate a history of reactive maintenance on consumable items; the buyer should verify the current depth of all brake material and check for alignment issues that may have caused the previously noted edge wear on the tyres.
