AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Lexus IS250 presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 22 October 2025 at 80,400 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of passing without a single advisory or failure, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage remains low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 5,743 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady and predictable, growing from 70,028 miles in October 2021 to 80,400 miles by October 2025. There are no erratic jumps in distance or suspicious gaps in the record that would suggest periods of neglect or sudden changes in usage patterns. While the MOT history is flawless, the low annual mileage can sometimes mask issues related to vehicle stagnation. A buyer should personally verify the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check the tyres for age-related cracking, even if the tread remains legal. The absence of any flagged suspension bushes or coil spring fatigue in the records is positive, but a physical check of the rubber components is advisable given the car's 14-year age. The lack of any recorded structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures suggests the chassis and engine have been well preserved. Because the DVSA records show zero defects over five years, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be on fluid levels and service intervals that fall outside the scope of a standard MOT test.
