2012 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric · WR12 EGD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on November 3, 2025. However, the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The car initially failed that same November test at 85,858 miles due to structural failures in the sidewalls of both the nearside and offside front inner tyres. While these were rectified to achieve a clean pass, the presence of structural tears suggests the previous owner ignored critical tyre defects until a formal failure forced action. At 85,858 miles over fourteen years, the Lexus has averaged approximately 6,133 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate usage patterns. The mileage accumulation is steady, with 5,027 miles covered between 2023 and 2024, and 2,710 miles between 2024 and 2025. This relatively low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts due to age and oxidation rather than distance traveled. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and tyre condition closely, as the April 2024 test at 83,148 miles flagged uneven wear on the nearside and perishing inner walls. These issues often indicate incorrect alignment or worn suspension bushes that accelerate tyre failure. The exhaust mounting system also requires attention, as a detached bracket was previously noted in the 2024 record. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical check for chassis corrosion and under-tray structural integrity is essential to ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying structural decay.
