2019 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · NG19 XNU

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding tyre management and alignment. The most recent test in February 2026 at 87,434 miles flagged advisories for both the offside front and offside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This follows a pattern seen in February 2024 at 58,747 miles, where the rear inner tyre was also noted for excessive wear. While the vehicle consistently passes its tests, the recurring nature of uneven wear suggests a persistent issue with geometry or suspension components. The mileage profile reflects higher-than-average usage, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between February 2024 and February 2026, where the vehicle covered 28,687 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation places accelerated stress on the drivetrain components, braking systems, and suspension bushings. The interval between the 2022 and 2023 tests shows much lower usage, but the recent data indicates a consistent period of high-intensity operation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system to identify the cause of the recurring tyre wear. The consistent edge wear on the offside tyres often points to worn ball joints, failing shock absorbers, or incorrect tracking alignment. Given the high mileage, the brake discs should be checked for thinning or uneven scoring, as the high usage puts significant demand on the friction material. The 2025 advisory regarding perishing on the nearside rear tyre also suggests that the rubber may be ageing poorly despite the tread depth, necessitating a close check of all remaining rubber sets for sidewall cracks.
