2023 Mazda MX-5 RF Exclusive-Line 2.0L Petrol · SSS 777

The maintenance trend for this 2008 Lexus RX400h is exceptionally stable and resolving positively, culminating in a completely clean bill of health. The most recent test on 29 November 2025 at 99,056 miles passed with zero defects. This follows a pattern of immaculate record-keeping, as the 19 November 2024 test at 92,858 miles and the 6 December 2023 test at 89,209 miles also passed without a single advisory or defect. The vehicle presents a robust mechanical standing, showing no recurring structural or mechanical risks. The recorded mileage of 99,056 miles equates to roughly 5,500 miles annually, marking this as a notably low-mileage example for its age. The progression is steady and consistent. Between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, the odometer advanced by 3,667 miles, and it covered 6,198 miles in the subsequent year leading to the November 2025 test. There are no gaps or sudden accumulations to suggest tampering or prolonged disuse. This steady, light usage pattern aligns with the pristine MOT outcomes. With no recurring faults to target, a buyer must shift focus to the inherent risks of an 18-year-old hybrid that has spent its life covering short distances. Inspect the hybrid battery state of health carefully, as low-mileage urban driving can degrade these cells faster than steady motorway cruising. Check the condition of rubber suspension bushes and brake caliper seals, which perish with age rather than mileage, potentially causing binding or cracking. Examine the brake discs and exhaust system for superficial corrosion, a common affliction on vehicles that stand for extended periods between short trips. Verify the condition of all tyres for date codes and sidewall cracking, as tread depth might remain high while the rubber deteriorates structurally.
