2007 Lexus IS220 2.2L Diesel · RY07 CJZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2025 at 69,210 miles. While the tester noted general corrosion during this inspection, no immediate mechanical failures or structural defects were recorded. The history shows a transition from a significant failure in 2019 to a clean pass in 2023, suggesting that previous mechanical issues were addressed and the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard ever since. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The data reveals a notable gap in usage between August 2019 and February 2023, where the car covered only 1,892 miles over nearly four years. Since the 2023 test, it has covered 1,603 miles to reach the 2025 inspection. This low-frequency usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake seizing due to inactivity, rather than mechanical wear from the drivetrain. A buyer must personally inspect the braking system closely, as the 2019 failure highlighted multiple issues including pitted rear discs, fluctuating brakes, and axle-wide imbalance. Despite these being rectified years ago, the low mileage increases the likelihood of brake calipers sticking or hydraulic lines corroding. The mention of general corrosion in the 2025 record also necessitates a thorough check of the underbody, specifically suspension mounting points and exhaust hangers, to ensure that surface rust has not compromised the structural integrity over time.
