2014 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · MD14 GYB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 1 July 2026 at 91,216 miles. The maintenance trend is generally stable, though a recurring issue with the braking system has emerged. The tester flagged thin rear brake pads in both the July 2025 and July 2026 tests, indicating that these consumables have not been replaced despite being noted as worn for over a year. The mileage is typical for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,601 miles per year. Usage remained consistent between 2017 and 2023, increasing from 29,916 to 69,945 miles. A more rapid accumulation of mileage occurred recently, with the odometer climbing from 78,286 miles in February 2025 to 91,216 miles by July 2026. This suggests a shift toward heavier use in the last eighteen months. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the rear brakes. The fact that thin pads were flagged in July 2025 and remained an advisory in July 2026 suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. This neglect of a known wear item may indicate other basic service tasks have been overlooked. The record shows a history of under-trays obscuring the underside, noted in December 2023, February 2025, and July 2026. This limited the testers ability to fully inspect the chassis and suspension components for corrosion or leaks. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough underside check is necessary to ensure no structural rust or fluid leaks have been hidden by these panels.
