Our Verdict
This Lexus LS is an exceptional find for a luxury saloon of this vintage. Its flawless recent MOT record suggests it has been maintained to a high standard, making it a strong recommendation for those seeking executive comfort on a budget.
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a thorough inspection of the electronic systems, as these cars are packed with complex technology. Ensure all seat adjustments, climate control zones, and the infotainment interface function correctly, as repairs to these can be costly.
While the MOT history is clean, do not skip a physical inspection of the service book. Lexus LS models of this era require consistent maintenance, particularly for the 4.6-litre V8 engine. Check for evidence of regular oil changes and ensure any previous advisories regarding tyres or suspension components were addressed promptly during its life.
As a 4.6-litre petrol vehicle, running costs will be significant compared to a modern hatchback. Expect fuel economy to be in the low-to-mid twenties, and be prepared for higher road tax bands typical of large-displacement engines from 2006.
Insurance may also be higher due to the vehicle's performance and the cost of replacement parts. However, the lack of recent MOT failures suggests you are unlikely to face immediate, unexpected repair bills, helping to balance the higher operational costs.
Despite the perfect recent MOT track record, you should still inspect the suspension arms and bushes, as these are known weak points for the LS model. Ensure the car sits level and there are no knocking sounds when driving over uneven road surfaces.
Check the condition of the tyres, as these are the most common failure point for this model according to aggregate data. Even if they pass the legal tread depth, look for uneven wear patterns which could indicate tracking or alignment issues that haven't yet resulted in an MOT failure.
Registered in December 2006, this bronze Lexus LS 460 is a testament to the model's legendary build quality. With a clean MOT history stretching back at least five years, the vehicle shows no signs of the common suspension or lighting issues often seen in this segment. It represents a high-value proposition for a buyer looking for a reliable, powerful, and refined long-distance cruiser.
The Lexus LS is renowned for its exceptional reliability, consistently outperforming the average MOT pass rate of 88.2% for its class.
