2016 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · YJ16 VPP

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 recorded two safety-related issues: front brake discs that were worn, pitted, or scored (but not seriously weakened) and front brake pads that were wearing thin. These defects indicate ongoing brake system degradation, which could compromise stopping power over time. The 2025 MOT included advisory notes about window tinting and a rear camera obstructing the registration plate, but no safety-critical failures. A 2024 MOT showed a mix of passed and failed outcomes. The failed test included non-functioning windscreen wipers, a windscreen washer issue, and multiple tyre defects (nails, cracking, or perishing). While the 2024 passed MOT at the same mileage noted tyre damage, the subsequent failure suggests these issues were not resolved promptly. The 2023 MOT was clean, indicating a possible improvement in maintenance before 2024. The vehicle’s mileage of 66,283 miles over 10 years equates to roughly 6,628 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This suggests average usage rather than heavy wear or prolonged inactivity. However, the recurring tyre and brake issues imply potential neglect or exposure to harsh conditions, though no definitive pattern of worsening is evident.
