2018 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SA10 LEX

A generally stable roadworthiness record defines this vehicle, characterized by a series of passes and a recent trend toward clean inspections. The most recent test on 22 May 2026 was completed without any defects or advisories, following a similarly clean result in 2025. This follows a period in 2023 and 2024 where minor issues regarding lighting and suspension wear were noted, suggesting the vehicle has returned to a state of defect-free compliance. The recorded mileage of 35,836 miles over approximately eight years represents a low annual average of roughly 4,480 miles. This usage profile indicates the vehicle has seen significantly lighter duty than the national average. Mechanically, while this results in lower wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the likelihood that rubber components may degrade due to age and environmental exposure rather than mechanical friction, a factor reflected in the previous suspension advisories. Specific attention should be directed toward the rear suspension, as the May 2024 test identified perished bushes on both rear trailing arms. Although the subsequent two tests were clean, a prospective buyer should listen for knocks or thumps from the rear of the chassis when driving over speed bumps or uneven surfaces, and feel for any instability during cornering. The 2024 record also flagged a nail and edge wear on the offside rear tyre, necessitating a physical inspection of the current tyres to confirm these were replaced and that the alignment is correct. A visual check of the offside front fog lamp is recommended to ensure the mounting damage recorded in 2023 has been permanently repaired and the unit is secure. Beyond these specific components, the five-year testing history shows no evidence of structural corrosion, brake system failures, or exhaust emissions issues, providing a factual baseline of the vehicle's mechanical state.
