Our Verdict
This Lexus RX presents a very strong cas
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a thorough inspection of the hybrid battery health and the condition of the complex infotainment interface, which can be a point of frustration for some owners. While the MOT history is clean, it does not confirm the status of the hybrid system's health check, which is essential for maintaining Lexus's extended warranty coverage.
Negotiate based on the upcoming service requirements, particularly if the vehicle is due for a major interval or brake fluid change. Ensure that all electronic features, including the adaptive cruise control and parking sensors, are fully operational, as these can be costly to rectify if they fail outside of warranty.
As a 3.5-litre hybrid, the RX sits in a higher road tax bracket than smaller hybrids, though its efficiency is commendable for a vehicle of this size. Expect fuel economy to vary significantly based on whether the driving is primarily urban or motorway-based.
Insurance costs will be reflective of the vehicle's premium status and high repair costs for bodywork. Maintenance beyond standard consumables should be budgeted for, particularly regarding the hybrid drivetrain components as the vehicle approaches the 100,000-mile mark.
Although the MOT history shows no defects, you should physically check the condition of the tyres, as tyre-related issues are a common failure point for this model according to aggregate data. Ensure the headlamps and all repeaters are functioning correctly, as lighting issues are statistically frequent for the RX.
Inspect the suspension components for any signs of wear, particularly given the vehicle's weight. While the MOT tests have not flagged any issues with the braking system, check the discs and pads for signs of corrosion or uneven wear, which can occur if a vehicle is used for short, infrequent journeys.
Registered in November 2018, this black Lexus RX 450h has covered 85,484 miles. The vehicle has a perfect MOT track record, having passed five consecutive annual tests with zero defects or advisories recorded. Given the model's high average pass rate, this specific example aligns well with the reliability expectations for the RX range.
The Lexus RX consistently performs well in MOT testing, with a model-wide pass rate of 93.9%, significantly higher than many competitors in the premium SUV segment.
