2020 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · WN70 NDL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging component wear. The most recent test on 26 January 2026 at 79,898 miles introduced several advisories that were absent in the previous three years. While the car passed the test, the appearance of thin brake pads and suspension wear indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase requiring more frequent preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistently high for a six-year-old Lexus, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. There was a significant surge in usage between March 2025 and January 2026, where the vehicle covered approximately 4,000 miles in just ten months. This rate of accumulation aligns with the transition from a defect-free history in 2023 and 2024 to the current mechanical concerns. The high mileage suggests regular motorway use, which explains the accelerated wear on rubber components and friction components noted in the latest MOT inspection. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and braking. The tester flagged a worn offside rear suspension arm pin or bush in January 2026, which did not yet result in excessive movement but will likely deteriorate quickly if not replaced. Furthermore, both front brake pads were noted as wearing thin, necessitating an immediate replacement to prevent damage to the discs. The presence of a nail in the nearside front tyre should also be checked to ensure it has not caused structural damage to the sidewall.
