2012 Lexus IS250 2.5L Petrol · WR12 EGY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from perfection to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test in April 2026 at 126,215 miles passed with a single advisory for light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber. This represents a departure from the clean records seen between 2022 and 2024, indicating that suspension components are beginning to reach the end of service life. At 126,215 miles over 14 years, the Lexus averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a premium executive saloon. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,300 miles covered between the May 2025 and April 2026 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been neglected or left to sit, though the high mileage places standard stress on the V6 engine and the various rubber-to-metal suspension components. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the front suspension geometry, as the May 2025 test noted that both front tyres were worn on the inner edges. This pattern typically points to incorrect alignment, worn control arm bushes, or failing ball joints rather than simple tyre age. The current misting on the offside rear shock should be monitored for increased leaking; while not an immediate failure, it signals that the seal is compromised. Given the previous history of defective wiper blades in 2025, verify that all minor consumables have since been replaced to ensure visibility remains at an acceptable standard.
