Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a
When inspecting this Lexus NX, focus on the hybrid battery health and the service history to ensure the high mileage has been met with regular maintenance. Given the 2023 advisory regarding the nearside front tyre wearing on the outer edges, it is worth checking if the wheel alignment was subsequently corrected or if there is any ongoing uneven wear on the remaining tyres.
Negotiate based on the mileage being significantly above the model average. Ask the seller for proof of recent hybrid system checks and ensure the service intervals have been strictly adhered to, as this is vital for the longevity of the 2494cc engine and electric motor combination.
As a hybrid electric vehicle, the NX is designed for efficiency, though the 2.5L engine size will place it in a moderate insurance group. Tax bands for this model vary depending on the specific hybrid configuration, but it generally benefits from lower emissions compared to pure petrol counterparts.
Maintenance costs for Lexus models tend to be predictable, but with the mileage now exceeding 70,000, you should budget for wear-and-tear items such as brakes and suspension components. Typical annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated to be in the middle range for a premium SUV.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the 2023 MOT record noted the nsf tyre was wearing on the outer edges, so inspect all four tyres for uneven tread patterns which could indicate alignment issues. Check the windscreen wipers and suspension arms during your inspection, as these are identified as common failure points for this model across the wider dataset.
Additionally, verify the condition of the braking system and any recent work done to address the tyre wear mentioned in the history. Ensure the hybrid system shows no warning lights on the dashboard during a test drive.
This 2018 Lexus NX 2.5 Hybrid presents with 70,427 miles on the clock, which is higher than the model average of 7,274 miles per year. While the mileage is elevated, the MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, with the most recent two tests in 2025 and 2026 recording no defects. The vehicle's hybrid powertrain and white exterior are key features of this specific registration.
The Lexus NX shows a high average MOT pass rate of 91.9% across 29,150 analysed vehicles, suggesting a generally reliable model profile.
