2016 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric · RA64 BAD

The Lexus RX demonstrates an exceptionally strong roadworthiness status with a stable and clean maintenance trend, culminating in a pass recorded on 2025-12-09 at a mileage consistent with its overall use. Although the vehicle suffered a test failure shortly prior on 2025-11-29, the lack of recorded defects on either certificate suggests a procedural or administrative rejection rather than a terminal mechanical fault, which was promptly rectified before the successful retest ten days later. Accumulating 64,432 miles over its ten-year lifespan yields an annual average of roughly 6,443 miles, placing this vehicle squarely within typical UK driving parameters for a luxury SUV. The chronological progression through tests on 2022-11-21, 2023-11-20, and 2024-12-02 reveals a consistent and unremarkable accumulation of mileage with zero advisory items issued during any of these annual checks. This pristine advisory record across multiple years indicates that previous keepers maintained the vehicle to a high standard, avoiding the deferred maintenance often seen in cars of this age. A prospective buyer inspecting the vehicle in person should focus primarily on the condition of consumable components rather than structural corrosion or chronic mechanical failures, given the unblemished MOT history. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs and pads, suspension dampers, and heavy alloy wheels, as the modest yearly mileage can sometimes mask surface degradation from infrequent use or short urban journeys. Verifying the service history alongside this DVSA data will confirm whether the previous owners matched this meticulous test performance with regular fluid and filter changes.
