2023 Lexus RX 350H Takumi CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric · RY23 LFO

The vehicle presents a stable and fully compliant roadworthiness status. The most recent MOT test, conducted on 19 March 2026 at 16,858 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health indicates that all major safety and emissions systems, including brakes, suspension, steering, lights, and exhaust, met the required standards at that time. With only a single entry on record, there is no historical trend of recurring faults to analyse, suggesting either meticulous preventative maintenance or simply insufficient service history to identify a pattern. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of this age. At approximately 5,619 miles per year, the usage falls well below the UK average. The MOT record confirms the odometer reading remained static between the March 2026 test and the current date of 16 June 2026, indicating the vehicle has been stationary for roughly three months. Prolonged periods of inactivity can lead to flat-spotted tyres, brake disc surface corrosion, and battery drain, which a static MOT pass does not fully mitigate. Despite the clean MOT, a physical inspection remains essential. A buyer should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for perishing and the brake discs for superficial corrosion caused by the recent standstill. The underside requires scrutiny for any signs of structural rust or exhaust deterioration, particularly if the vehicle has been stored in a damp environment. Given the low annual mileage, verifying the hybrid battery health and ensuring the engine reaches optimal operating temperature during a test drive is advisable to confirm the hybrid system functions correctly under load.
