Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise verifying the resolution of the Engine MIL failure from March 2026; ensure the fault was actually repaired rather than simply cleared. Given the recurring advisories for oil leaks and exhaust leaks across the 2025 and 2026 tests, you should use these as leverage for price negotiation, as they represent pending maintenance costs.
Request detailed service records to see if the hybrid battery has been tested or replaced, as is common for vehicles of this vintage. Check for any evidence of recent work to the front suspension to address the long-term shock absorber misting noted since 2023.
The 3.5L hybrid powertrain combines performance with efficiency, though as a 2007 model, it will not benefit from the same tax incentives as modern hybrids. Insurance costs will be influenced by the large engine capacity and the GS model's insurance group.
Maintenance for the GS450h can be more expensive than standard saloons due to the complexity of the hybrid system and the V6 engine. Expect higher costs for specialised parts and hybrid-qualified technicians. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Carefully inspect the front shock absorbers for oil misting, a recurring issue flagged in the 2023, 2025, and 2026 MOT records. Check the front of the engine for signs of active oil leaks and listen for any audible puffs or hisses from the central exhaust, both of which were noted as advisories in the two most recent tests.
Ensure the dashboard is clear of warning lights upon startup and during the drive to confirm the Engine MIL issue is fully resolved. Additionally, check the inner track rod end dust covers, which were flagged as deteriorated in 2025.
This black 2007 Lexus GS450h has recorded 113,923 miles. The MOT history reveals a pattern of persistent advisories concerning oil leaks, exhaust leaks, and shock absorber misting dating back to 2023. Although it passed its most recent test in March 2026, this followed a failure related to the Engine Management Indicator Lamp (MIL).
The GS450h shows a respectable average MOT pass rate of 82.5%, with typical failures often involving imbalanced brakes and tyre wear.
