2018 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · PP07 DDD

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 31 October 2025 at 77,469 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting that the current ownership is proactively addressing any potential mechanical issues before they result in test failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles annually. Between September 2023 and October 2025, the car covered 21,370 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The only anomaly occurred in September 2022, when the vehicle failed its initial test at 41,468 miles only to pass a retest just two days later. This brief failure suggests a minor consumable issue or a simple adjustment requirement that was immediately rectified, rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect or developing structural corrosion. While the electronic history is clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components prone to age- at this mileage. Given the 77,469-mile mark, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or cracking, as these degrade over time. The lack of recorded brake issues or tyre failures in the history is encouraging, but verifying the thickness of the brake pads and checking for any minor fluid leaks remains necessary. The overall data reflects a well-maintained Lexus that has avoided significant mechanical failures throughout its service.
