2018 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · PS55 PHS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift towards deferred maintenance on consumable components. While the MOT performed in March 2026 at 56,642 miles passed, the tester identified multiple advisories regarding tyre condition and rear brake hardware. This marks a departure from the clean records seen in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that components are now beginning to require attention as the vehicle ages. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between March 2025 at 48,495 miles and March 2026 at 56,642 miles, the car covered over 8,000 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. This relatively low annual mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension assembly, but it also explains the age-related degradation noted in the latest test report, such as the perishing of the rear tyres despite the low tread depth. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the 2026 test flagged cracking and perishing on both the nearside and offside rear units. This condition often results from the rubber drying out over time rather than mileage. Additionally, the rear brake discs are noted as pitted and scored. While not a failure point, this surface condition should be checked for thickness and to ensure the calipers are not seizing, which could lead to premature pad wear or uneven braking performance.
