2018 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · MT67 GLF

The most recent MOT on 16 January 2026 resulted in a pass at 68 255 miles, with the only notes being that the nearside and offside rear child seats were fitted in a way that prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belts. No mechanical defects were recorded at that test. Looking back, the MOT history shows a recurring pattern of tyre‑related advisories. In January 2024 both rear tyres were noted for cracking/perishing and the offside rear tyre showed inner‑edge wear. Earlier, in January 2023 the front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showed edge wear. The January 2026 test did not repeat any tyre defects, suggesting that the tyre condition has improved since the 2024 advisory, possibly after replacement or repair. A separate, persistent issue is the fitment of rear child seats that obstructs the full inspection of the adult seat belts. This was recorded in the 2022, 2024 and 2026 tests, indicating that the problem has been present for at least four years and has not been resolved. The front bumper was recorded as damaged in the January 2024 test; no further mention appears in later tests, implying the damage was either repaired or remained unchanged without additional deterioration. Overall, the trend for tyre wear appears to be improving, while the child‑seat inspection obstruction remains stable.
