2016 Lexus RC 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · PO02 NAS

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 6 December 2025 at 144,144 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet suggests that the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle to a high standard, ensuring that mechanical and structural components currently meet all DVSA testing criteria. At 144,144 miles, the Lexus has averaged approximately 14,400 miles per year, which sits significantly above the national average for a ten-year-old car. The data shows consistent usage with a steady accumulation of roughly 5,000 to 6,500 miles between annual tests from 2022 through 2025. A notable gap in usage occurred between November 2021 and December 2022 where only 135 miles were recorded, indicating a period of very low use or storage before the vehicle returned to its high-mileage pattern. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components subject to accelerated wear and tear. A prospective buyer should specifically evaluate the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often show signs of fatigue after a hundred thousand miles. The braking system should be checked for binding calipers or thin disc surfaces, as the MOT only tests for functional failure rather than gradual wear. Additionally, inspecting the chassis for early-stage corrosion is a wise precaution, though the clean record indicates no structural integrity issues to date.
