2002 Lexus GS300 3.0L Petrol · PL52 XLK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate over the last four years. The most recent MOT on 26 August 2025 at 126,805 miles was achieved with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a similar trend from 2022 through 2024, indicating a vehicle that is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 24 year old car, averaging roughly 5,284 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the odometer climbed from 115,006 to 126,805 miles, showing a steady usage pattern of approximately 3,900 to 4,200 miles annually. This low annual throughput suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy motorway wear, though it may have spent significant periods stationary. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear across five tests is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. While the record is clean, a buyer should physically inspect the chassis and sills for surface rust and structural integrity, as MOT testers sometimes overlook minor corrosion that does not yet constitute a failure. Check the condition of the rubber components and tyre dates during a physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished tyres or leaking shock absorbers due to age rather than wear. Verify that the braking system remains free of binding calipers, a common issue for cars that sit idle for long periods, despite the clean DVSA record.
