2018 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric · W60 DAK

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 recorded a central front lower windscreen damage, classified as a non-urgent defect (3.2 (a) (i)) that does not impair the driver’s view. This aligns with previous entries where windscreen damage was noted but deemed non-critical. The 2024-05-23 MOT mentioned a central windscreen issue, and the 2023-05-23 entry cited a general windscreen damage, both similarly categorized. No other defects were recorded in the 2025-05-23 or 2022-06-14 MOTs, suggesting periods of stable condition. The recurring windscreen damage indicates a pattern of minor, non-safety-critical issues. While the exact cause (e.g., stone chips, impact, or manufacturing defect) is not specified, the consistency of this defect across multiple MOTs suggests it may require attention to prevent escalation. However, the absence of other defects in recent years implies the vehicle’s overall mechanical condition has remained stable. The vehicle’s mileage of 63,318 miles at 8 years old equates to roughly 7,915 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear or prolonged inactivity. However, the mileage alone does not definitively indicate hard use or under-use, as it falls within a normal range.
