2007 Lexus IS 250 2.5L Petrol · UD02 BAD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical history in the recent years. The most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 163,353 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior at 163,330 miles. This specific failure likely involved a minor rectifyable item such as a blown bulb or minor adjustment, which was addressed immediately before the re-test. Since the 2020 inspection, the car has maintained a clean record without any de-minimis structural advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression of 6,270 miles between January 2020 and March 2022, followed by 2,769 miles between March 2022 and March 2023. The larger jump of 4,215 miles recorded between March 2023 and June 2025 indicates a slight increase in usage but remains within typical parameters for- wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. The lack of long-term inactivity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which helps prevent brake seizure and internal corrosion. Given the age and mileage of this Lexus, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for this model that do not always trigger an MOT failure. A buyer must specifically examine the subframe and exhaust mounting for corrosion, as these areas are prone to rust over two decades. The front control arm bushes and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of cracking or leaking to ensure handling remains. While the MOT history is clean, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of fluid leaks and the overall condition of the steering rack.
