2010 Lexus RX450H 3.5L Petrol · RO60 DPZ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, maintaining a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 August 2025 at 72,498 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a streak of clean results spanning the previous four years. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not suffered from mechanical or structural failures that typically affect cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old Lexus, averaging approximately 4,531 miles per year. Between September 2021 and August 2025, the car covered 15,537 miles, indicating a consistent but light usage profile rather than high-frequency long-distance travel. This low annual mileage generally implies less wear on the hybrid drivetrain, braking system, and engine. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid-related issues which are not always fully captured by a standard MOT test. Despite the clean electronic history, a buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components susceptible to age rather than wear from mileage. Specific attention should be paid to signs of cracking in rubber bushings, suspension arm, and tyre sidewalls which can become brittle over two decades regardless of distance. Checking the chassis for early-stage corrosion and the exhaust system is also prudent, as the MOT only flags rust that reaches structural significance. Given the hybrid nature, verifying the state of the hybrid battery and the cooling system for the inverter remains a critical step that falls outside the scope of the DVSA logs.
