2015 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · VX65 LNJ

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 166,056 miles with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend following a period of failure in late 2024 due to a failed nearside front headlamp. The transition from a failure to a clean sheet in the most recent test suggests that the current owner is addressing safety-critical defects as they arise, despite the high mileage of the car. The mileage profile is high for an eleven-year-old Lexus, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year. There is a significant acceleration in usage between March 2022 and February 2026, where the vehicle covered 84,152 miles in just over four years. This rapid accumulation indicates consistent long-distance use, which typically accelerates the wear on suspension components and braking systems compared to lower-mileage examples. The intervals between tests show the car has been in regular use rather than sitting for long periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the December 2023 test flagged both a light misting of oil on the nearside front shock absorber and a severely deteriorated dust cover on the anti-roll bar ball joint. While these were rectified or monitored, high-mileage vehicles often suffer from secondary rubber degradation and bushing wear. Furthermore, the history of worn brake pads and discs noted between 2021 and 2022 necessitates a physical check of the current pad thickness and disc condition to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life again given the high annual mileage.
