2010 Lexus IS220 2.2L Diesel · MW10 ETA

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, maintaining a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 9 June 2025 at 139,361 miles resulted in no defects, mirroring the clean sheets of the previous four inspections. This consistent lack of advisories suggests that the previous owners have been proactive with vehicle upkeep and that the mechanical and structural components are currently operating within acceptable parameters. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally consistent for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between April 2021 and June 2025, the car covered 24,106 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 6,000 miles annually during that period. This lower annual mileage is generally beneficial for older components as it prevents the premature wear of rubber bushings and suspension components associated with high-mileage commuting. The intervals between tests remain regular, indicating the vehicle has been kept on a predictable operational schedule. While the MOT history is devoid of recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points specific to the Lexus IS220 of this era. A buyer should check for early signs of corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, as MOT tests often only flag structural rust once it becomes significant. Given the age, a thorough check of the control arm bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these parts can degrade over time regardless of mileage. The clean record suggests the braking system and emissions are likely in good condition, but verifying the discs for thinning or caliper binding remains a standard professional precaution for a vehicle of this age.
