2021 Lexus ES 2.5L Hybrid electric · M30 MRM

The most recent MOT, dated 7 October 2025, was a pass but highlighted a minor issue on both front tyres – the nearside and off‑side outer tyres were noted as “slightly damaged/cracking or perishing”. No other defects were recorded at that test. The previous MOT, a year earlier, showed a completely clean result with no recorded defects. The only recurring theme in the two‑year span is the early wear on the front tyres. Apart from that, the vehicle’s MOT record is stable – there are no new or worsening faults such as brakes, suspension or emissions. At just 12,552 mi on a 2021 model, the car averages roughly 2,500 mi per year, which is well below the typical UK average of around 7‑10 k mi per annum. Low mileage can mean the car has been lightly driven, which may preserve major drivetrain components, but it can also indicate long periods of inactivity. Prolonged storage can lead to rubber hardening, tyre cracking and potential corrosion of suspension bushings, so the tyre notes fit that scenario. Overall, the condition trend appears stable, with the only concern being the front tyre wear. The low mileage does not guarantee low wear on all components; it merely suggests the engine and major mechanical parts have seen limited use, while the tyres may have suffered from age or occasional short trips.
