2011 Lexus IS250 2.5L Petrol · R3 NEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted in September 2025 at 94,583 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory requirements. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that the mechanical and safety components have been maintained consistently recently. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-use domestic ownership, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year over its fifteen years. There is a notable gap between the December 2021 and September 2023 tests, during which the vehicle covered roughly 9,300 miles. Since 2023, the usage has increased to a steady rate of about 3,500 to 4,500 miles per annum. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and rubber-based suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. While the recent records are clean, the single failure in September 2023 at 87,507 miles indicates a specific issue that required attention before the subsequent pass. A buyer should verify if that failure involved a consumable item or a more significant component. Given the age of the vehicle despite the low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust system, as well as the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs. Checking for brake caliper seizing or disc surface pitting is also advisable, as low-mileage cars can suffer from surface rust in the braking system during periods of inactivity.
