2013 Lexus IS 300H F Sport CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · MV63 TXL

Based on the DVSA MOT records, this IS 300h F Sport presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a notably clean bill of health. The most recent test, conducted on 27 June 2025 at 135,341 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This marks a significant improvement over the preceding years, where tyre wear was a recurring advisory. The transition from advisories in 2021 and 2023 to a completely clear pass in 2024 and again in 2025 suggests the current ownership has addressed basic consumable upkeep, moving from reactive fixes to proactive maintenance. The vehicle's mileage progression is consistent and well-documented, showing no alarming gaps or sudden surges in usage. Between the July 2021 test at 96,600 miles and the June 2025 test at 135,341 miles, the car covered approximately 38,741 miles over nearly four years, averaging just under 10,000 miles annually. This is a typical and sustainable rate for a hybrid saloon of this age. The steady accumulation, with no periods of dormancy or extreme high-mileage years, implies regular use that is generally beneficial for hybrid battery health and preventing the seizure issues associated with long-term standing. Despite the recent clean pass, a buyer must physically inspect the underside and wheel arches for corrosion, a common issue on thirteen-year-old vehicles regardless of mileage. The recurring advisories for edge wear on both front and rear tyres in 2021 and 2023 point to persistent suspension geometry issues, likely worn bushes or tracking misalignment. Even though the tyres now pass, the underlying wear pattern suggests the suspension components responsible may still be degraded and require close examination. The hybrid system's cooling components and the CVT transmission's fluid condition should also be verified, as these are critical long-term items not always visible in a standard MOT check.
