2018 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · SJ18 VCU

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 21,216 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced the first recorded advisories in the history. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean record from 2021 through 2024, suggesting that the core mechanical and structural components have operated without significant failure during those periods. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,652 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2024, the car covered only 2,362 miles, showing a pattern of very light usage. The jump of 3,388 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests represents a slight increase in activity but remains well below national averages. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though the intervals are consistent, indicating the car was likely used for short urban trips or stored periodically. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front tyres, as the 2025 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the limit on the edges. This specific wear pattern often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require attention to prevent premature scrubbing. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to check for rubber rot on the tyres and brake disc corrosion, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. The absence of any structural corrosion or mechanical failures in the record suggests the chassis remains in good condition.
