2012 Lexus IS 250 Advance Auto 2.5L Petrol · RO62 HVJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 17 October 2025 at 111,662 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This continued streak of perfect results over the last five years indicates a stable maintenance trend where the owner has proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they could result in test failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the car covered 7,626 miles, showing a steady usage profile rather than erratic bursts of mileage. The gap between 2021 and 2022 shows a slight dip with only 951 miles recorded, yet aligns with the annual average. This regular usage is generally beneficial for vehicles of this age as it prevents seal degradation and brake fluid contamination often associated with long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT record shows no advisories for structural corrosion or mechanical wear, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points specific to this Lexus model and age. A buyer should examine the front suspension components for perished rubber control arm bushes, as these often degrade after 100,000 miles. Check the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning, as the MOT does not measure the remaining life of the friction material. Given the high mileage, verifying the engine bay for any signs of oil leakage from the V6 power train seals is a prudent step to ensure the clean electronic history reflects actual mechanical health.
