2013 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric · RE63 CWW

The most recent MOT passed in July 2025, but it highlighted several areas requiring attention, specifically worn front brake discs and thin pads, worn bushes on both front lower suspension arms, and a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. There is a clear, recurring pattern of rear subframe corrosion that has been noted in every MOT since 2022. The mechanical condition of the vehicle appears to be worsening, as the latest report shows an increase in the number of defects related to suspension and braking components compared to the previous three years. The vehicle has covered 165,130 miles, which is high for a 13-year-old car. This higher-than-average usage likely accounts for the increased wear on consumables such as the brakes, tyres, and suspension bushes. A buyer should first inspect the rear subframe to check the extent of the corrosion and thoroughly examine the front suspension arms and bushes for signs of excessive wear or movement.
