2019 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric · SPY 349C

The most recent MOT, conducted on 2026-05-22 at 23,800 miles, resulted in a pass. However, the report noted minor issues with both front tyres, describing them as "slightly damaged/cracking or perishing" under section 5.2.3 (d) (ii). This indicates the tyres are showing signs of age-related degradation, likely due to exposure to environmental factors or prolonged inactivity. No other defects were recorded in this test. The vehicle’s mileage of 23,800 miles for a 7-year-old car is unusually low, averaging around 3,400 miles per year. This could suggest the vehicle has seen minimal use, potentially leading to underdeveloped wear on components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain parts. However, low mileage may also indicate periods of extended storage, which can accelerate aging in rubber components (e.g., tyres, seals) and lead to fluid stagnation in systems like the cooling or braking units. There is no prior MOT history available to assess trends in defects or repairs. The current record shows a single, minor issue, but without additional data, it is unclear whether this reflects a recurring problem or an isolated incident. The lack of historical context limits the ability to determine if the vehicle’s condition is deteriorating, stable, or improving over time.
