2010 Lexus RX450H 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · MF60 EPC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear degradation in suspension and wheel assembly components. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 180,506 miles passed, it introduced new advisories for play in both front wheel bearings and wear on the rear suspension arm bushes. This represents a progression from the 2023 test where only front bushes were noted, indicating that the suspension system is now reaching the end of its service life. At 180,506 miles over 16 years, the Lexus averages approximately 11,282 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent use, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests, and another 11,800 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the car is not sat idle for long periods, which explains the accelerated wear on rubber components and mechanical bearings. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and alignment. The history reveals a persistent pattern of inner-edge tyre wear, dating back to the 2022 failure where tyres were almost at the cords, which strongly suggests a chronic alignment issue or worn components that have not been properly rectified. The recent appearance of play in the front wheel bearings indicates that the hubs or bearings are now failing and will likely require immediate replacement to prevent further noise or handling instability. Further attention should be paid to the rear radius arm bushes and rear suspension arm pins, as these have been flagged across multiple years without recorded resolution. Given the high mileage and the recurring nature of these faults, the buyer should check for signs of leaking shock absorbers or further torn rubber bushings. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the cumulative mechanical wear on the under-body suggests that significant expenditure will be necessary shortly to maintain the vehicle's original handling quality.
