2019 Lexus UX 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · LX69 VBZ

A recurring advisory on the rear tyres dominates the MOT history, with both nearside and off‑side rear tyres flagged for slight damage and cracking in the tread at each of the last three tests. The latest test on 19 January 2026 recorded a pass, but the same tyre advisories re‑appeared, showing that the underlying tread condition has not improved. Apart from a single headlamp aim failure in early 2025 and a defective wiper blade in 2024, the vehicle has otherwise cleared its MOTs without further failures, suggesting a generally acceptable roadworthiness record aside from the tyre wear issue. At 73,863 mi recorded in 2026, the car averages roughly 10,500 mi per year, which sits comfortably within typical UK usage for a seven‑year‑old vehicle. The annual testing pattern is complete, with no gaps that would hint at prolonged off‑road periods. This mileage level aligns with the expected wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components, meaning those items should be inspected for age‑related degradation even if no MOT defects have yet been logged. Prospective buyers should give the rear tyre condition immediate attention. Inspect the tread depth for uniformity, feel for any soft spots or cracking on the sidewalls, and listen for thumping or vibration at higher speeds that can indicate internal tyre damage. The front inner tyres were noted as close to the legal limit in the 2024 test, so confirming current tread depth and sidewall integrity on all four wheels is advisable; replacement may be required soon. Verify that the nearside headlamp has been correctly realigned, as the 2025 failure for low aim could affect night‑time visibility if not corrected. The wiper blade on the off‑side was flagged as split in 2024, so ensure the blade now makes full contact and clears the windscreen effectively. During a test drive, monitor for any pulling to one side, especially after the headlamp adjustment, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Check the steering for play or knocking over bumps, and assess the brake pedal for a firm, consistent feel without pulsation, as the MOT record does not highlight brake problems but mileage suggests normal wear. Finally, confirm that all exterior lights function correctly and that there is no visible corrosion around wheel arches or suspension mounting points, providing a comprehensive picture of the vehicle’s current mechanical state before purchase.
