Common Problems: LEXUS ES
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- 12V Auxiliary Battery Drain(Moderate)
The 12V battery on modern Lexus hybrids can drain quickly if the car is not driven for more than a few days, leading to a completely dead car that requires a jump start or battery replacement. The issue is exacerbated by parasitic draw from the infotainment standby, keyless entry, and connected telematics systems.
- Sunroof Water Ingress and Slow Operation(Moderate)
ES models fitted with the panoramic sunroof can suffer from blocked drainage channels, leading to water ingress into the headlining and boot area. Additionally, the sunroof motor and tracks can become slow or noisy over time, particularly in cold weather when grease thickens.
- Front Lower Suspension Arm Bush Wear(Moderate)
The ES is a heavy saloon, and the front lower suspension arm rear bushes can soften or tear over time, leading to vague steering feel, a dull thump over potholes, and inner-shoulder front tyre wear. This is a common MOT advisory on higher-mileage UK cars.
