Our Verdict
This Lexus NX is an excellent prospect for buyers seeking a reliable, low-mileage premium SUV. Its recent clean MOT history suggests it has been well-maintained, making it a strong candidate for a hassle-free purchase.
When inspecting this vehicle, pay close attention to the suspension components. While the 2022 and 2024 MOTs noted minor wear on the suspension arm pins and bushes, these were not severe enough to cause a failure, but they are worth monitoring. Ensure the car drives smoothly over rough surfaces without any knocking sounds.
Check the service history to ensure the hybrid battery has been health-checked annually as part of the Lexus service programme. Since the vehicle is now over ten years old, verify that the hybrid system is operating efficiently and that the transition between electric and petrol power is seamless.
The 2.5-litre hybrid system is designed for efficiency, particularly in urban driving environments, which helps keep fuel costs manageable for a vehicle of this size. As a hybrid, it may benefit from lower VED rates compared to non-hybrid petrol SUVs of a similar era.
Insurance groups for the Lexus NX are typically mid-to-high, reflecting its premium status and repair costs. With the vehicle being well-maintained and having low mileage, you should expect standard servicing costs, though it is wise to budget for potential suspension component replacements in the future.
Begin your inspection by checking the tyres; the 2024 MOT noted a damaged nearside front tyre, so confirm that all four tyres are currently in good condition with plenty of tread. Test the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to ensure it is fully functional, as this was flagged as a concern in 2024.
Verify that all electronic features are working correctly, as modern Lexus interiors are feature-rich. Inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion, especially given the history of suspension bush wear, and ensure the hybrid battery charge indicator behaves as expected during your test drive.
At 57,099 miles, this 2016 Lexus NX has covered significantly less distance than the average vehicle of its age. The recent MOT history shows a positive trend, moving from minor advisory items in previous years to a clean pass in 2026. Given the hybrid powertrain and Lexus's reputation for longevity, this vehicle represents a high-value proposition for a family-oriented buyer.
The Lexus NX is widely regarded for its exceptional build quality and mechanical reliability, typically suffering from fewer electrical or drivetrain issues than its European competitors.
