2020 Lexus ES 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · WN70 HGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 48,346 miles. However, the maintenance trend has shifted from a clean record to one with multiple advisories. While the car passed, the tester flagged three tyres worn close to the legal limit and noted that both rear brake discs are worn, pitted, or scored on the inner faces. The mileage pattern shows a significant and sudden increase in usage. Between 1 April 2023 and 25 September 2025, the car covered roughly 10,000 miles. In the following six months, the mileage doubled from 24,114 to 48,346 miles. This rapid acceleration in road use explains the sudden appearance of wear on consumables that were previously absent from the records. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre tread and alignment. The 16 March 2026 entry specifically mentions tyres worn on the edges and stepping on the inner side, which often indicates incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. These are not simple wear-and-tear issues but suggest a mechanical misalignment that could lead to premature tyre failure if left unaddressed. The rear braking system requires immediate attention. The pitting and scoring on the inner faces of the rear discs suggest the vehicle may have sat for periods or suffered from sticking calipers. You should verify if the discs and pads have been replaced since March, as the record indicates the braking hardware is nearing the end of its serviceable life.
