2011 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric · RO61 EYB

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight transition into minor mechanical depletions. The most recent test in September 2025 at 133,641 miles identified an advisory for rear service brake binding. While this did not cause a failure, it marks a shift from the clean records seen in the preceding three years, suggesting that the braking components or calipers are beginning to show signs of age or wear. The recorded mileage of 133,641 miles over 15 years reflects an average usage of approximately 8,900 miles per annum, which aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern with roughly 7,000 to 14,000 miles covered between annual tests. The jump from 103,266 miles in 2023 to 117,388 miles in 2024 represents the highest period of activity, but the car has remained regular without long periods of stagnation or neglect. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to determine if the rear binding is caused by a seized caliper piston or corroded slider pins. Given the advisory from 2024 regarding front tyres worn uneven on the edge, it is also necessary to check for suspension geometry issues or worn lateral bushes that may have caused premature tyre wear. No structural corrosion has been flagged in the history, but monitoring the undercarriage for rust remains standard practice for a vehicle entering its second decade of service.
