2018 Lexus IS 300H Advance CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric · NL18 YPJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 15 November 2025 at 89,152 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all legal mechanical requirements. This follows a trend of clean passes over the previous several years, suggesting that the owners have proactively maintained the vehicle's safety and emissions standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. A significant gap in records exists between November 2023 at 56,400 miles and November 2025 at 89,152 miles, representing an accumulation of over 32,000 miles in two years. This indicates regular road use, though it places standard demand on wear components such as the hybrid CVT system and suspension bushings. The interval between August 2021 and 2022 shows a period of lower usage, which aligns with the overall profile of the car. Because the only fault noted in the history was a minor windscreen chip in May 2021 at 40,287 miles, there are no recurring mechanical failures or structural issues to flag. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage consumables that are not fully covered by the MOT, specifically the condition of the brake pads and discs and the depth of the tyres. Given the mileage is approaching the 90,000-mile mark, checking for any minor fluid leaks or wear in the lower control arms is advisable to ensure the vehicle remains as reliable as the hybrid drivetrain suggests.
