2016 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SS16 NLO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 July 2026 at 61,896 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair regarding suspension components followed by more recent stability. While the vehicle passed the last two annual tests without defects, the history between 2022 and 2024 indicates a pattern where the previous owner only addressed issues once they reached a failure threshold, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,190 miles per year over its ten-year life. There is a significant gap in data between June 2019 at 26,882 miles and July 2020 at 44,768 miles, where the car covered nearly 18,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the usage has stabilized to roughly 6,000 miles annually, which typically limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to higher mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with lower arm bushes. The 2023 test flagged debonding trailing arm bushes, and the 2024 failure resulted from excessive wear on both the nearside and offside rear suspension bushes. Although the 2026 test passed without these faults, rubber suspension components are prone to cracking and degradation over time regardless of mileage, especially on an older Lexus. The tester consistently noted general surface corrosion under the vehicle in both the 2025 and 2026 tests. While surface rust is common for a vehicle of this age, a physical inspection of the chassis and structural members is necessary to ensure corrosion has not progressed into structural decay. Given the 2020 report of pitted front brake discs and thin rear pads, the buyer should also verify the current condition of the braking system to ensure they have been replaced since that recorded service interval.
