2015 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric · YK65 VUR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deteriorating suspension component condition. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 107,817 miles showed only minor consumable issues such as a worn nearside front tyre and a defective wiper blade, the preceding years show escalating mechanical fatigue. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple suspension failures thereafter indicates that components are now reaching their service limit. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. The data shows regular intervals between tests, moving from 74,944 miles in September 2022 to 95,474 miles in August 2024, representing roughly 20,000 miles driven over twenty-four months. This suggests steady road use rather than long periods of inactivity, though the cumulative mileage explains the accelerated degradation of rubber-based bushings and suspension hardware common to the heavy RX chassis. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry. The records from 2022 and 2024 specifically flagged worn trailing arm bushes and splitting lower arm bushes on both the nearside and offside sides. Because these were noted as not yet resulting in excessive movement at the time, they likely require imminent replacement to prevent uneven tyre wear and handling instability. The buyer should also check for signs of further alignment issues, as the 2026 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge often stems from compromised suspension bushings or incorrect camber.
