2021 Lexus UX 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · MA21 OCV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern regarding tyre condition. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 25,124 miles passed, it resulted in multiple advisories across all four tyres. This follows a failure in March 2025 where a structural bulge on the offside front tyre caused rejection, indicating a recurring failure to address tyre safety issues before annual inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the March 2024 test at 9,014 miles and the March 2025 test at 18,330 miles, during which the car covered over 9,000 miles. This low annual usage likely explains the presence of perishing and cracking noted in the records, as rubber compounds degrade when vehicles sit for long periods, leading to dry rot despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the alignment, as the February 2026 test noted the nearside front tyre was worn on the edge. This suggests a potential tracking issue or worn suspension bushes that requires investigation to prevent premature tyre wear. Additionally, the consistent reports of cracking across multiple tyres indicate that the current set is reaching the end of its structural life and should be replaced regardless of the low mileage.
