2021 Lexus LS 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · RN21 OGF

Tyre tread depth is the sole area approaching the legal minimum, with all four tyres flagged as worn close to limit in the 2024 MOT; the subsequent tests in early 2025 and both 2026 examinations recorded a clean pass with no defects, indicating that tyre wear was the only recurring advisory while the vehicle’s other systems have remained within MOT specifications. At 47,482 mi the car averages roughly 9,500 mi per annum, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within normal usage for a 2021 model. The MOT history shows an uninterrupted annual testing pattern, so there are no unexplained gaps that would suggest prolonged storage or unusually low utilisation. This steady accumulation implies that consumables such as brake pads, suspension bushings and engine oil will be subject to typical wear for its age, but also that the vehicle has not been subject to extreme mileage spikes that could accelerate component fatigue. Prospective buyers should inspect the tyre condition closely; confirm that tread depth exceeds the 1.6 mm legal minimum on all corners and look for uneven wear patterns that could point to mis‑alignment, worn suspension bushes or damaged steering components. During a test drive, listen for any thumping or squeaking over bumps, feel for steering pull or vibration, and check that the vehicle tracks straight when the wheel is released. Any indication of lateral movement in the front or rear suspension should be investigated further, as the advisory history suggests the tyres may have been compensating for subtle alignment issues. Although the MOT records show no failures on brakes, steering or emissions, a thorough visual check of the brake discs, pads and calipers is advisable given the mileage. Verify that there is no visible scoring, glazing or uneven pad wear, and assess pedal feel for any judder or sponginess. Finally, examine the under‑tray and engine bay for signs of oil leaks, coolant drips or exhaust smoke, as these are not captured by the MOT but can affect long‑term reliability.
