2020 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SA70 OGZ

A lone advisory on the off‑side front inner brake disc is the only blemish on an otherwise clean MOT history; the vehicle cleared its most recent test on 8 May 2026 with that advisory noted, and the preceding five tests consist of four passes and a single failure for an ineffective windscreen wiper on 26 May 2025. The pattern shows consistent roadworthiness apart from isolated wear‑related notes, with no recurring failures or progressive defects emerging over the six‑year span. At 60 461 miles the car averages roughly 10 000 miles per annum, a mileage rate that sits squarely within normal usage for a 2020 model. The MOT dates are spaced at roughly twelve‑month intervals, indicating regular testing without significant gaps that might conceal prolonged off‑road storage. This steady accumulation suggests typical wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and suspension components, rather than accelerated degradation from unusually high mileage or long periods of inactivity. The brake‑disc advisory points to surface pitting or scoring that, while not yet deemed structurally compromised, will likely require monitoring. On a test drive feel for any pulsation or vibration through the brake pedal, especially under moderate braking, and listen for a high‑pitched squeal that can indicate thinning disc material. Measuring disc thickness with a micrometer or having a workshop check it against the manufacturer’s minimum specification will confirm whether replacement is imminent. Also inspect the corresponding brake pads for uneven wear, as worn pads can exacerbate disc scoring. The windscreen‑wiper failure recorded in 2025 suggests the blade or actuator may no longer clear the glass effectively; verify that the wiper sweeps the full width of the screen without streaking, and check for squeaking or delayed return, which can signal worn rubber or a weakening motor. While no other systems have been flagged, a comprehensive visual inspection of the suspension bushes, tyre tread depth and exhaust condition is prudent, as these items are not captured by MOT advisories but affect overall safety and future maintenance costs.
