2015 Lexus RX450H 3.5L Hybrid electric · MX64 KBY

The 2015 Lexus RX450H presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 25 April 2026 at 75,089 miles with zero defects recorded. The two preceding April tests in 2025 and 2024 were also completely clean, indicating that any earlier minor issues have been addressed and the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard for at least the last two years. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,826 miles per year. Looking at the annual intervals, the car covered approximately 4,245 miles between the April 2023 test at 62,367 miles and the April 2024 test at 66,614 miles, then 6,318 miles between April 2024 and April 2025 at 72,932 miles, and a more modest 2,157 miles in the final twelve months leading to the April 2026 test. There is a notable gap between the November 2021 test at 58,154 miles and the April 2023 test at 62,367 miles, representing roughly 4,213 miles over approximately seventeen months, which suggests lighter use or a period of reduced activity during that window. No rapid or anomalous spikes in mileage accumulation are evident. The only recurring advisories in the record relate to child seat fixtures obstructing adult seatbelt inspection at the rear, noted in both November 2021 and April 2023. These are not mechanical defects and likely reflect a child seat left in place at the time of testing rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. The April 2023 test also flagged both front tyres wearing close to the legal limit, with the nearside front outer tyre recorded at 3mm and the offside front inner tyre worn on the edge. This pattern of uneven front tyre wear warrants a close in-person inspection of the front suspension geometry, tracking alignment, and condition of the front suspension bushes and ball joints. Given the vehicle's age and the hybrid drivetrain's additional weight, a thorough check of the rear brake calipers for binding and the condition of all brake discs and pads would be prudent, even though no braking defects have been formally recorded. The exhaust system and underside should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around mounting points and seam joints, as these can develop silently on vehicles of this age regardless of a clean MOT history.
