2022 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · NP54 NPS

The Lexus RX holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 18 November 2025 at 45,370 miles, passing its most recent test. The maintenance trend appears stable but flagged, with no serious mechanical or structural failures recorded. Instead, the tester identified multiple tyre-related advisories that point to uneven wear patterns and age-related deterioration rather than catastrophic faults. These are consumable items, yet the combination of sidewall cracking and edge wear across all four wheels suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary or been driven with suboptimal wheel alignment and tyre pressures. The mileage progression is consistent with a typical annual use of roughly 11,300 miles per year for a four-year-old vehicle. With only one MOT record visible in this dataset, there are no notable gaps or sudden jumps in accumulation to scrutinise. The single recorded mileage figure of 45,370 miles aligns exactly with the odometer reading provided, indicating no obvious discrepancies or rollback concerns. The testing frequency is annual, which is standard practice for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should inspect the tyre sidewalls carefully for perishing and cracking, particularly on the offside front and nearside rear, as flagged in the November 2025 test. The stepped inner edge wear on both rear tyres indicates possible misalignment or worn suspension bushes, so checking rear toe settings and the condition of trailing arm and track rod bushes is advisable. Uneven inner edge wear on the offside front tyre reinforces this concern and warrants an inspection of the front suspension geometry, including ball joints and anti-link links. Beyond the tyres, no structural corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or braking defects were recorded. Still, a live road test should verify that the braking system operates without binding or pulling, and that the suspension remains quiet over uneven surfaces. The advisories are minor in isolation, but their presence across all four corners suggests a pattern of deferred basic upkeep rather than a single isolated issue.
