2023 Lexus ES 2.5L Hybrid electric · PF73 BLK

The 2023 Lexus ES presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 16 April 2026 at 65,175 miles recording zero defects. The vehicle has been consistently roadworthy across its last four tests, with only one minor failure in the past twelve months. That single failure on 13 February 2026 at 60,676 miles was for a windscreen damaged sufficiently to affect the driver's view of the road, a defect that was clearly rectified before the retest just seven days later on 20 February 2026 at 60,903 miles, which passed cleanly. No mechanical or structural advisories have appeared at any point in the recorded history. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of sustained, intensive use. Covering approximately 21,725 miles per year over three years is well above the UK average, and the record shows consistent progression: 54,688 miles in November 2025, 56,670 miles by mid-December 2025, then a jump of nearly 4,000 miles to 60,676 by mid-February 2026, followed by a further 4,272 miles to the April 2026 test. The gap between December 2025 and February 2026 is notable, with rapid accumulation suggesting motorway or long-distance commuting use rather than short urban trips. This kind of loading is generally gentler on drivetrains than stop-start driving but places steady demand on consumable components. Despite the high mileage, the absence of any suspension, braking, or emissions defects across five consecutive tests is encouraging and suggests attentive upkeep by the previous keeper. The sole failure was cosmetic and visibility-related rather than mechanical, reinforcing that impression. A buyer should still inspect the windscreen repair carefully, checking for optical distortion in the driver's line of sight, particularly under low sun. Given the annual mileage, the front brake discs and pads, tyre inner edges, and suspension bushes deserve close physical inspection, as these components endure the most stress at this rate of use. The underside should be examined for any early corrosion, particularly around subframes and suspension mounting points, since high-mileage vehicles can develop surface corrosion faster than low-mileage equivalents even within three years. The tyre replacement history is absent from the record, so verifying remaining tread depth and date codes on all four tyres is essential before purchase.
