2005 Lexus RX400H 3.3L Electric · SM55 NFL

The Lexus RX400H presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 March 2024 at 211,528 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no recurring mechanical or structural advisories. The vehicle cleared its test cleanly in November 2021 at 190,101 miles, then again in March 2024, with only administrative failures logged in December 2022 and March 2024 where the tester recorded no defects at 195,683 and 211,528 miles respectively. At roughly 21 years old the recorded mileage of 211,528 equates to about 10,073 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the November 2021 pass at 190,101 miles and the December 2022 failure at 195,683 miles shows only 5,582 miles covered in thirteen months, indicating light use in that period. From December 2022 to March 2024 the odometer moved just 15,845 miles, confirming a consistently modest annual running rate with no rapid accumulation that would accelerate drivetrain or suspension wear. The two failed tests on 16 December 2022 and 12 March 2024 listed no defects, which suggests the failures stemmed from documentation or presentation issues rather than outstanding mechanical faults. Previous owners appear to have kept the hybrid SUV to a basic but sufficient standard, given the absence of advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across all five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 211,528 miles, focusing on coil springs, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers which are common on high-mileage RX400H models. Verify the service history matches the low annual mileage and confirm no hidden intermittent faults exist that the MOT record would not capture.
