2018 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · SL68 ABX

The vehicle maintains an excellent roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 30 July 2025 at 13,430 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak of perfect records suggests that the vehicle has not been subjected to significant mechanical stress or structural degradation over the last five testing periods. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,680 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 7,882 miles and the July 2025 test at 13,430 miles, the car covered only 5,548 miles. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests highlight risks associated with periods of the vehicle standing stationary. The data is clean, showing the car has been used sparingly rather than undergoing high-frequency motorway commuting. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a buyer should focus on components specifically affected by low-mileage usage. Low use can lead to brake disc-spotting, corrosion on exhaust components, and seizing of brake calipers due to lack of heat cycles. An inspector should verify the condition of rubber suspension bushes and check for cracking, as age degrades these materials regardless of distance driven. Additionally, checking the age code on the tyres is vital, as rubber can perish even when the tread depth remains high.
