2020 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · WN70 NDX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred consumable repairs. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 52,411 miles passed, the tester flagged thin front brake pads on both sides. This indicates that while the vehicle is currently legal for road, the braking system has now reached the end of its service life and requires immediate attention to prevent damage to the rotors. Mileage accumulation remains consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 35,845 miles and the August 2024 test at 44,588 miles, the car covered 8,743 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress or long periods of stationary neglect, which is generally beneficial for the health of the rubber components and fluid-related seals. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment geometry in person. The 2024 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge often points to a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. Given the recent report of thin brake pads in 2025, a physical check of the brake discs is necessary to ensure they have not been scored or thinned due to the delay in replacing the pads.
