Our Verdict

A strong recommendation for those seekin

When viewing this vehicle, verify the service history to ensure the large 5.0L V8 engine has been maintained according to manufacturer schedules, as low mileage does not always equate to regular maintenance. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear, as the 2025 MOT noted both nearside and offside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges.

Negotiate based on the age of the tyres; if the tyres were replaced following the 2025 MOT failure, ensure they are of a premium brand suitable for a high-performance vehicle. Given the car's status as a luxury grand tourer, also inspect the condition of the interior materials and the electronic systems to ensure they remain as expected for a premium Lexus product.

Expect running costs to be high, primarily due to the substantial 4,969cc engine capacity. Fuel economy will be a significant factor, as large-capacity petrol engines of this type typically require premium unleaded fuel and consume more than standard commuter cars.

Tax and insurance groups for a vehicle of this specification and engine size are likely to be at the higher end of the scale. Maintenance costs will reflect the specialized nature of the LC model, with tyres and brake components being notable expenses for a high-performance vehicle.

Focus your inspection on the front tyres. The 2025 MOT record specifically flagged the nearside and offside front tyres for being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This could indicate a need for wheel alignment or suspension checks to prevent rapid reoccurrence.

Beyond the MOT history, inspect the braking system and the condition of the large wheels. As a high-performance petrol vehicle, the wear on consumables like pads and discs can be more rapid than on standard models. Ensure all electronic features are operational, as these are integral to the Lexus LC experience.

This 2018 Lexus LC presents with significantly low mileage, having covered just 21,500 miles in approximately eight and a half years. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with only one recorded instance of tyre wear issues in 2025. Given the large 4.9L petrol engine and the vehicle's age, the low mileage is a standout feature of this specific red example.

No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Lexus LC model to provide a statistical comparison.
