2012 Lexus RX 450H Advance SUN Roof CVT 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · VE12 MZF

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test in January 2026 with a mileage of 159,133 miles, indicating that the current maintenance trend appears to be stable. However, a closer examination of the records reveals a concerning issue with the nearside rear integral body structure corrosion, which was flagged in the same test. This defect was also noted in the previous January 2026 test at 159,127 miles, suggesting that the problem has been ongoing. The mileage pattern of the vehicle appears to be relatively typical for its age, with an average annual mileage of approximately 11,367 miles over the past 14 years. There are no notable gaps in the mileage records, but it is worth noting that the vehicle has accumulated a significant amount of mileage over the years. The most rapid accumulation of mileage occurred between 2012 and 2014, during which time the vehicle's mileage increased by around 20,000 miles in just two years. However, this period is now well behind the vehicle, and the more recent mileage accumulation has been more steady. A buyer should exercise caution when inspecting the vehicle's rear suspension and brake components, as the records indicate recurring issues with corrosion and wear. The nearside rear brake pipe was excessively corroded in 2021, and the rear suspension arm pin or bush was worn in 2021. The nearside rear integral body structure corrosion is also a concern, as it may compromise the structural integrity of the vehicle. Additionally, the vehicle's brake discs and pads have shown signs of wear in the past, including worn, pitted, or scored discs, and thinning brake pads. A thorough inspection of these components is essential to determine the extent of any damage and to assess the overall condition of the vehicle's braking system. It is also worth noting that the vehicle's rear fog lamps have been a source of concern in the past, with issues related to insecure and incorrectly positioned lamps. A buyer should ensure that these components are in good working order and securely attached to the vehicle.
