Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking
When inspecting this specific GS, pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history for 2023, 2025, and 2026 specifically mentions the fitment of engine covers and under trays, so ensure these components are secure and not rattling or dragging.
As with any hybrid, verify that the hybrid system has been serviced according to the manufacturer's schedule. While the MOT history is clean of defects, it does not confirm mechanical service intervals. Check the service book for evidence of regular oil changes and hybrid system health checks to complement the clean MOT record.
As a 2.5L hybrid, this Lexus GS offers relatively efficient fuel economy for its size, though running costs will be higher than a smaller hatchback. The tax band and insurance group will depend on the specific trim level, but as a premium hybrid, expect mid-range insurance premiums.
Maintenance costs for Lexus models are generally predictable, but ensure you budget for specialist hybrid component inspections. The estimated annual running cost, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,800-£2,400 depending on annual mileage and driving style.
Focus your inspection on the tyre condition and braking components. While this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, the aggregate data for the Lexus GS shows that tyres, brake pipes, and headlamps are the most common failure points for this model.
Additionally, check the integrity of the under trays mentioned in the recent MOT history. Ensure they are correctly fastened and that there are no signs of impact damage or loose plastic that could affect aerodynamics or protect the engine components.
This 2018 Lexus GS hybrid, finished in red, has a documented MOT history spanning from 2022 to 2026. With 66,117 miles recorded at its most recent test, the vehicle has covered slightly more than the model average of 7,220 miles per year. The MOT records show a consistent pass rate with no recorded failures, though there are recurring notes regarding the fitment of engine covers and under trays.
The Lexus GS shows a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 91.5% across 3,554 analysed vehicles.
