2015 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric · MT65 FFH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 19 December 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than a proactive one. While the most recent test resulted in a single-item failure due to a defective nearside front headlamp, the issue was rectified immediately to achieve a pass. The lack of advisory defects on the latest certificate suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components met the minimum legal standards at that time. At 132,866 miles, this Lexus has covered significantly more than the national average, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent and heavy usage patterns, with 27,168 miles recorded between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 25,661 miles covered in the year leading up to the December 2025 test. This high annual mileage places considerable strain on high-frequency wear items, particularly the suspension geometry, braking system, and drivetrain. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the December 2024 test specifically flagged thin offside front brake pads at 107,205 miles. Given the high mileage accumulated since then, the brake discs should be checked for uneven wear or thinning and the calipers inspected for binding. The recurring headlamp failures across two consecutive years suggest a potential oversight in basic electrical checks prior to testing, necessitating a verification of all exterior lighting circuits and bulbs. While the record shows no structural corrosion, the high mileage warrants an inspection of suspension bushings and coil springs for signs of premature degradation.
