2017 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · LX67 HFP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on 23 May 2026 at 62,278 miles followed a failure just two miles prior due to a worn offside front tyre and a damaged offside rear tyre. While the vehicle passed upon re-test, the recurrence of failures for basic consumable items suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when they directly threatened the MOT certificate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. Between May 2024 at 58,239 miles and May 2025 at 60,442 miles, the car covered 2,203 miles, indicating a period of lower annual usage. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can lead to rubber components becoming brittle or drying out over time regardless of distance travelled. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension geometry, specifically the nearside rear trailing arm bush which was flagged in May 2025 at 60,442 miles. Although this did not cause a failure at the time, worn bushes in Lexus often lead to uneven tyre wear, which explains the edge wear noted on the offside front tyre in the 2026 test. A thorough wheel alignment check is necessary to prevent further premature tyre damage. Additionally, the wiper blades and windscreen should be inspected, as the record shows a history of poor visibility maintenance, suggesting these components are neglected until they degraded significantly.
