2017 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · PP67 JAP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward minor wear-related suspension issues. The most recent test in September 2025 at 29,219 miles identified wear on both nearside and offside rear suspension arm bushes. While these did not result in a failure at the time, they indicate that the rubber components in the rear assembly are beginning to degrade despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,247 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered only 13,169 miles, suggesting a pattern of infrequent use or long storage periods. This low usage often preserves the mechanical integrity of the engine and interior, but it can lead to the drying of rubber seals and the seizing of stationary components, as seen in the historical brake issues. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension system to ensure the worn bushes noted in 2025 have not progressed into excessive movement which affects affect handling. The 2022 test at 18,890 miles flagged both front brake calipers as binding, a common symptom of vehicles that sit stationary for long periods causing the pistons to seize. Verify that the brakes currently operate freely and that the discs show no pitting or uneven wear. Additionally, the recurring presence of nails in tyres across 2022 and 2024 suggests a lack of proactive tyre inspections, necessitating a thorough check of the current tread depth and sidew condition.
