2008 Lexus IS250 2.5L Petrol · RV58 HTO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 July 2025 with 105,144 miles and no recorded defects. The history shows a consistent pattern where the car fails an initial test but is immediately rectified to pass a re-test within a week. The lack of any persistent advisories across the last three years suggests that the previous owners take a proactive approach to addressing mechanical failures during the annual inspection process. The mileage mileage is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,841 miles per year. Data shows a significant increase of 11,064 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, followed by another 12,706 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. While the low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can cause rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and seals, to perish or crack due to age rather than simple mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation in low-mileage cars. Given the age of the Lexus, a close look at corrosion on the subframe and exhaust system is essential, as moisture often accumulates on vehicles that sit stationary. Check the braking system for signs of seized calipers or corroded discs, as infrequent use can lead to surface pitting. While the MOT record is clean, the lack of recorded advisories means the actual condition of the tyres and suspension bushings must be verified in person.
