2009 Lexus IS220 2.2L Diesel · RV09 XGL

The 2009 Lexus IS220 passed its most recent MOT on 22 September 2025 at 178,869 miles, but the same record also records a failure for the missing brake pedal anti‑slip provision, indicating a mixed outcome; overall the maintenance trend remains stable, with recurring suspension wear and tyre edge wear rather than a clear improvement or deterioration. Mileage has risen from 58,628 miles in August 2013 to 178,869 miles in September 2025, an average of roughly 10,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 17‑year‑old vehicle; the jump from the 6 November 2024 test at 157,142 miles to the September 2025 test shows an increase of 21,727 miles over ten months, confirming steady rather than rapid accumulation. A buyer should focus on the repeatedly flagged suspension arm pins and bushes, the near‑legal tyre wear on both front and rear axles, the corrosion of the rear sub‑frame, and the brake pedal anti‑slip defect, while also inspecting the prop shaft flexible coupling, brake pads and discs, and the condition of the exhaust system for any signs of ongoing wear or structural weakness.
