2021 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · YM02 ROB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 61,859 miles without defects, it had failed just hours that same day due to critical brake failure. The offside rear brake pads were worn down to the metal against a severely scored and weakened disc, indicating that the previous owner ignored significant wear until it became a safety failure rather than performing maintenance during routine servicing. At 61,859 miles over five years, this Lexus NX has covered an average of approximately 12,300 miles per year. This mileage suggests consistent annual use which places steady demand on mechanical components and consumable items. Between the October 2024 test at 50,570 miles and the October 2025 test, the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles. This high rate of travel aligns with the accelerated wear patterns observed in the inspection records. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the October 2024 record noted both front tyres were worn prematurely on the inner edges. This is a classic sign of incorrect camber or worn shock absorbers. Furthermore, the recent failure of the offside rear brake necessitates a thorough check of the remaining caliper to ensure the piston has not seized, which likely caused uneven wear. Given the mileage and the history of neglected brake components, verifying the condition of the suspension bushings and brake fluid quality is essential to ensure no hidden mechanical damage persists from high-mileage operation.
