Our Verdict
This 2012 Lexus CT in black presents a very encouraging MOT history, showing five consecutive pass results recorded between April 2014 and January 2026 without any recorded defects or advisories. With an odometer reading of 106,587 miles, it offers a compelling option for buyers seeking a reliable hybrid hatchback.
When inspecting this 2012 Lexus CT, verify the physical service history documentation alongside the clean MOT records to confirm how routine maintenance was handled across its 106,587 miles. Check that all hybrid components, infotainment features, and interior electrical systems function as expected during a test drive.
Negotiate based on the upcoming service schedule and general wear commensurate with a 2012 vehicle. Ensure you test the transition between the petrol engine and the electric motor, and confirm the health of the 12-volt auxiliary battery as well as the hybrid battery pack.
The 1.8-litre hybrid electric powertrain offers strong fuel economy, particularly in urban and suburban driving environments. Depending on CO2 emissions banding for the 2012 model year, vehicle excise duty should be relatively modest, and insurance groups for the CT range are generally reasonable for everyday drivers.
Typical annual maintenance should cover routine servicing, tyres, and brake upkeep. Factoring in fuel, tax, insurance, and general upkeep, an estimated annual running cost for this vehicle sits around £1,100-£1,400.
Because the recent MOT tests from April 2014 to January 2026 yielded zero defects or advisories, there are no specific past MOT failure patterns to investigate. However, a thorough physical inspection should still focus on brake disc and pad condition, suspension components, and tyre tread depth.
Check the black exterior paintwork for any car park dings, stone chips, or lacquer peel typical of a 2012 plate vehicle. Inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion or premature wear on the exhaust and suspension arms.
First registered in April 2012, this 1.8-litre hybrid electric Lexus CT has accumulated 106,587 miles.
