2014 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric · WR14 SVV

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent test in October 2025 at 103,898 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged an offside rear inner tyre worn close to the legal limit with edge wear. This indicates a minor consumable issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure, as the vehicle had achieved clean records in the three years prior to this. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered 44,814 miles, showing a steady usage profile without long periods of neglect or sudden heavy accumulation. The intervals of roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles between annual tests suggest a routine usage schedule, which typically reduces the risk of hidden component degradation associated with long periods or high-intensity stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry due to recurring uneven tyre wear noted in both 2021 and 2025. The fault on both front tyres and the nearside rear tyre in 2021, followed by the offside rear edge wear in 2025, points toward potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes and bushings. While no structural corrosion or brake failures were recorded in the history, the buyer must check for play in the control arms and shock absorbers to ensure the uneven wear is not causing premature degradation of expensive components.
