2010 Lexus RX450H 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SH10 DDV

The Lexus RX450h has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past five years, with no defects or advisories recorded during any of its MOT tests. The most recent test on 2026-01-26—just six months prior to today—confirmed the vehicle passed without issue, despite an unusual duplicate entry (one pass, one fail at identical mileage). This suggests the vehicle has not experienced any recurring mechanical failures requiring attention, though the odd duplicate test warrants clarification from the seller regarding its cause. The lack of advisories or warnings in any of the five tests indicates no hidden or deferred issues were previously identified by the tester. The recorded mileage of 142,330 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 8,900 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and model. There are no significant gaps in mileage between tests, with the most recent interval covering just 1,368 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged periods of disuse, which could have contributed to accelerated wear in components like suspension bushes or brake calipers. The consistency in mileage accumulation also implies the previous owner did not engage in aggressive driving patterns, though this does not preclude eventual wear on high-stress parts. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these are in perfect condition, as some issues may not be immediately visible without dynamic testing. Brake discs and calipers should also be examined for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven at higher speeds. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, should be checked for corrosion, as hybrid vehicles like this are often exposed to environmental stress. Finally, the hybrid battery system—critical to this model—should be assessed for any degradation or warning lights, even if not explicitly tested under MOT regulations.
