2018 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · RX18 OZC

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently non-compliant, as evidenced by a failure on the 2025-03-19 test at 51,589 miles, which necessitates a full inspection. The maintenance trend is unstable, characterized by a failure to pass the MOT twice within a short period (March 2025), indicating that the primary concern is a consistent lack of preventative maintenance rather than a single acute failure. This pattern suggests that the buyer has likely skipped routine servicing, leading to accelerated wear on components such as the rear inner tyre and windscreen wiper. The mileage record reveals a significant gap between the vehicle's age and its recorded mileage, with only 46,828 miles recorded between March 2024 and March 2025. This gap of over 10,000 miles suggests that the owner has not maintained the vehicle with the same frequency as its age dictates, potentially leading to premature degradation of suspension bushings and brake components. The data indicates a rapid accumulation of wear, particularly on the rear inner tyre and windscreen wiper, which would require immediate attention to prevent further damage to the drivetrain. Given the recurring faults and the high mileage associated with these issues, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for binding rear brakes, structural integrity of the suspension, and corrosion on the exhaust system. A thorough check is required to determine if the worn tyres are still within legal limits or if they have degraded to a dangerous state, as these findings suggest a need for immediate professional intervention to restore roadworthiness before the vehicle is used again.
