2022 Lexus NX 450H + F Sport Phev CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · TY10 ERS

The most recent MOT carried out on 9 June 2026 returned a pass, with the only recorded items being advisories concerning the nearside and off‑side front tyres being close to the legal tread limit and showing inner‑edge wear. The previous test, twelve months earlier, also passed with no defects recorded. This pattern indicates a stable maintenance record; there are no recurring mechanical failures, and the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets the statutory safety standards, the only concern being the progressive wear of the front tyres. At 44 050 miles the Lexus NX 450h + F Sport is approximately four years old, giving an average annual mileage of just over eleven thousand miles. This figure sits comfortably within the typical UK usage envelope for a premium compact SUV and suggests the car has not been subjected to excessive high‑speed or heavy‑load duty. There are no obvious gaps in the recorded mileage that would imply long periods of storage, nor is there evidence of a rapid mileage surge that might accelerate wear on consumables such as brake pads, suspension components or the hybrid battery. The mileage therefore supports a reasonable expectation of remaining life for wear‑related items, provided they have been serviced in line with the manufacturer’s schedule. The tyre advisories merit immediate attention. Inner‑edge wear on both front tyres often points to mis‑alignment, worn front‑end suspension bushes, or uneven tyre pressure. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyre sidewalls for any cracking, delamination or dry rot that can develop with age, even on relatively low‑mileage tyres, and verify that the tread depth exceeds the legal minimum of 1.6 mm across the whole width. During a test drive listen for any steering wheel vibration, especially at higher speeds, and feel for a pulling sensation to either side, which would confirm the need for an alignment check and possibly a suspension inspection. Examine the front suspension for any looseness in the ball joints, tie‑rod ends and control‑arm bushings, as worn components can exacerbate tyre wear and affect handling. Given the vehicle’s hybrid nature and CVT transmission, the buyer should also confirm that the hybrid battery health has been monitored and that the 12‑volt auxiliary battery shows no signs of sulfation or reduced cranking power. Request evidence of the scheduled service intervals, particularly the CVT fluid change and any high‑voltage coolant replacement, as these fluids degrade with time regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or glazing and the pads for sufficient remaining thickness, especially since the car may have spent periods of low use where pads can rust onto the rotors. Finally, check for any signs of under‑body corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and suspension mounting points, and verify that all electronic systems, including the regenerative‑braking and drive‑mode selectors, operate without fault codes or warning lights. These checks will give a comprehensive picture of the car’s roadworthiness and future maintenance outlook.
