2019 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YN19 ASR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of deferred mechanical repairs. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 62,651 miles, the record reveals a persistent failure to address known suspension-related issues. Specifically, a worn offside front suspension arm back bush appeared as a defect in both July 2024 and 2025, indicating that this component has been left to deteriorate despite multiple advisories. The mileage profile is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 12,416 miles between the July 2023 and 2024 tests, followed by another 18,439 miles in the final year. This recent accumulation suggests regular highway use. However, the failure in July 2024 due to an offside rear tyre being below the legal limit suggests the owner only addresses consumables when prompted by an MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring wear on the offside front suspension arm bush, combined with the 2023 advisory regarding both rear tyres wearing on the outer edges, suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn camber components. This misalignment will lead to premature tyre failure if not rectified. Inspect the current state of the nearside and offside front tyres from the 2025 test to ensure they are no longer nearing the legal limit or exhibiting further uneven wear patterns.
