2016 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · RF16 WSV

The Lexus NX has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past four annual tests, with the most recent inspection on 12 August 2025 confirming no defects. This reflects a stable maintenance trend without recurring advisories or failures, though the absence of any recorded issues does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in high-stress components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers, which may degrade gradually even without immediate MOT failure. The vehicle’s structural integrity remains unchallenged by the record, but the lack of advisory notes means potential issues like binding calipers or corrosion in wheel arches cannot be ruled out without further inspection. The recorded mileage of 42,714 miles, averaging roughly 4,271 miles annually, suggests unusually light use for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between MOT tests—consistently around 12 months—align with typical service intervals, but the low mileage implies prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate degradation in fluids, seals, or suspension components. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or extended overdue periods, but the low usage may also mean deferred maintenance, such as neglected fluid changes or brake system servicing. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, focusing on coil spring integrity, bush wear at control arms and subframes, and any signs of binding in the rear calipers—common in Lexus models with age. Brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness, as the record does not indicate recent servicing. Corrosion in wheel arches, sills, or underbody panels warrants close examination, particularly given the vehicle’s age and exposure history. Finally, fluid levels and condition—brakes, power steering, and engine oil—should be checked, as low mileage does not guarantee they have been refreshed.
