2010 Lexus RX450H 3.5L Hybrid electric · WN60 XRO

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent test in January 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding basic consumable upkeep. While the car consistently passes its inspections, the tester flagged both the nearside and offside rear tyres as being close to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This follows a pattern of tyre issues noted in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the owner has deferred tyre replacements until the final moment. At 107,331 miles, the RX450h averages approximately 6,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026, and another 9,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the hybrid battery system, though the consistent mileage explains the gradual wear on mechanical components. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension and alignment, as the recurring uneven edge wear on the tyres across 2024, 2025, and 2026 indicates a persistent geometry issue or worn suspension bushes and bushings. The braking system also requires attention; the record from 2022 noted pitted front discs and thin pads, followed by thin rear pads in 2025. The prospective buyer should verify the current thickness of all brake pads and check for grooving on the rotors, as the history shows the braking components are only addressed when they approach failure thresholds.
