2019 Lexus UX 2.0L Hybrid electric · WN69 AXW

The 2019 LEXUS UX is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance record indicates a clear worsening trend in suspension and braking components. The most recent test on 2026-05-22 at 94,930 miles passed without defects, yet the 2025-05-08 test at 77,456 miles revealed significant wear on the nearside and offside front tyres, with tread worn close to the legal limit. This rapid acceleration of mileage since the 2023-05-02 test suggests that basic upkeep was skipped during the ownership period, leading to accelerated failure of the suspension bushings and coil springs. The mileage pattern reflects a significant acceleration since the 2022-05-30 test, where the vehicle was tested at 31,878 miles and the offside front tyre was noted as slightly damaged or perishing. This gap in the data, combined with the 2026-06-17 date, indicates that the vehicle has experienced rapid wear accumulation, particularly around the front axle where the tyres are now approaching the legal limit. The lack of defects in the 2026-05-22 test confirms that the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension has remained sound despite these accumulated wear items. Given the recurring faults in the suspension and braking systems, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, binding front brakes, or loose wheel nuts, as these components were identified as the primary sources of failure in the MOT history. Additionally, the 2024-05-02 test flagged a 2mm wear on the nearside front tyre, which may require checking for tread depth or balancing. Structural issues such as cracked or perishing tyres, rust in the exhaust, or corrosion in the exhaust pipe are also critical to inspect, as these represent serious risks that would necessitate costly repairs.
