2006 Lexus RX400H 3.3L Petrol · OV06 BZJ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 at 56 324 miles, but the test recorded a nearside front tyre with small sidewall cuts and both offside and nearside front lower wishbone rear bushes beginning to split. The maintenance trend shows a gradual deterioration of suspension components and recurring tyre damage, while brake issues identified in 2025 have not reappeared, indicating a mixed but generally stable condition. Over roughly 20 years the car accumulated 56 324 miles, averaging about 2 800 miles per year, which is low for its age. MOT dates are clustered around early spring, with a notable gap between the 2025 failure and the 2026 pass, during which mileage rose only 1 582 miles. Earlier records from 2014 to 2018 show minimal defects, suggesting consistent low‑use ownership until the suspension and tyre wear became evident in the last three years. For a buyer, the key items to inspect are the front suspension bushes—particularly the lower wishbone rear bushes—for cracking or splitting, the front tyres for sidewall cuts and tread wear, and the brake discs and pads for pitting or thinning. A visual check of the wiper blades and a walk‑around for any corrosion around the wheel arches and underbody should also be performed, as the MOT history highlights these as recurring concerns.
