2014 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SN14 UCF

This 2014 Lexus IS passed its most recent MOT test on 9 June 2026 at 118,192 miles, and is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, with no recurring serious mechanical or structural defects flagged across its full test history. The only items noted in the latest test are minor cosmetic and consumable faults: a non-view-impeding windscreen stone chip, grime on both front headlamp lenses that does not significantly reduce light output, a minor nearside front tyre cut that does not expose ply or cords, and an illuminated tyre pressure monitoring system light. The vehicle’s recorded mileage aligns closely with its age, averaging roughly 9,849 miles per year over its 12-year lifespan, which is typical for a vehicle of this vintage. There is a notable spike in annual mileage between the May 2023 and June 2024 MOT tests, where 15,118 miles were added in just over 12 months, well above the average, before usage dropped to roughly 3,300 miles per year for the following two test intervals. No large unrecorded mileage gaps appear in the official MOT log, with tests completed at regular 12-month intervals across the full recorded history. A buyer should prioritise in-person inspection of components flagged in past MOT advisories, even where no repeat defects have been recorded in subsequent tests. The May 2022 test noted thin nearside and offside rear brake pads, and while no further brake advisories appear in later records, there is no confirmation the parts were replaced, so rear pad thickness and brake disc condition should be checked directly for wear or scoring. The recurring non-view-impeding windscreen stone chip noted in both the 2025 and 2026 tests should be assessed for spread, as unchecked chips can develop into full cracks that require windscreen replacement. The illuminated TPMS warning light recorded in the most recent test should be investigated, as it may indicate a faulty wheel speed sensor, a damaged tyre pressure sensor, or slow punctures in one or more tyres. All tyres should be checked for tread depth above the legal 1.6mm minimum, sidewall damage, and even pressure, with particular attention paid to the nearside front tyre that has a documented minor cut. The front headlamp lenses should also be wiped to confirm the noted product is only surface grime rather than permanent hazing that reduces light output.
