2019 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · NG19 XNP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension and braking components. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 45,097 miles passed, it revealed multiple new advisories that were absent in previous years. The shift from a clean record in 2024 to a series of mechanical failures and wear-related advisories suggests that rubber components and metalwork surfaces are now reaching the end of their functional service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. The data shows steady progress between May 2023 at 32,743 miles and May 2024 at 37,542 miles, followed by a larger gap of nearly 4,000 miles before the 2025 test. This low annual mileage often results in less wear on the drivetrain, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber bushings and corrosion on brake discs due to the low distance travelled. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically the control arm bushes. The tester repeatedly flagged worn bushes on both the front wishbones and rear trailing arms across 2025 and 2026. Because these issues have persisted through multiple test cycles, the rubber is likely perished or torn and will require replacement to prevent unpredictable handling or uneven tyre wear. The offside front tyre was also noted as being near the legal limit in the latest test, indicating an immediate expenditure is forthcoming. The braking system also requires scrutiny following the failure in May 2025 due to pitted and scored discs on all four wheels and low brake efficiency. Although the vehicle passed shortly after, the presence of pitting on the discs suggests the car may sit for long periods or experience high environmental corrosion. The buyer should verify the thickness of the pads and check for any binding calipers or sticking pistons to ensure the previous efficiency failure was properly addressed rather than just masked.
