2015 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · YY65 NMO

Based on the DVSA MOT records, the 2015 Lexus NX holds a valid pass certificate dated 24 October 2025 at 62,449 miles, but the overall maintenance trend is one of gradual neglect rather than careful upkeep. The most recent test followed a same-day failure for a non-functioning offside front windscreen washer, and the pass certificate still carried multiple advisories. Both front tyres were worn to 3mm and showing cracking or perishing, while both rear brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored. The tyre pressure monitoring system warning lamp has remained illuminated since at least October 2024, suggesting the sensor fault has persisted across two consecutive tests without repair. The mileage progression tells a consistent story of low annual use. The vehicle recorded 51,838 miles in October 2023, 57,628 miles in October 2024, and 62,449 miles in October 2025, averaging roughly 5,700 miles per year over the past decade. There are no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps in the odometer record, and the annual MOT pattern has been regular each October. Low mileage has clearly limited wear on major mechanical components, yet the tyre and brake disc condition suggests the car has not been garaged or maintained to a standard commensurate with gentle use. A buyer should pay close attention to the front tyres. The cracking and perishing noted in both 2024 and 2025 indicates age-related deterioration rather than simple wear, meaning the rubber has hardened and lost suppleness regardless of remaining tread depth. The rear brake discs have appeared as worn or pitted in three of the last four tests, which on a low-mileage vehicle points to corrosion from standing rather than genuine wear from use. The illuminated TPMS light has been ignored for at least eighteen months, and the washer fault was only rectified on the same day as the failed test, suggesting minor electrical and fluid-system items are being deferred rather than proactively serviced. Beyond the documented advisories, a physical inspection should focus on the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and subframes, as vehicles covering fewer than 6,000 miles annually often develop corrosion from condensation and infrequent heat cycles rather than road use. The front suspension bushes and coil springs deserve attention given the recurring tyre edge wear, which can indicate misalignment or deteriorated bushings. The braking system should be road-tested for binding or uneven pull, especially at the rear where pitted discs may mask a sticking caliper. Overall, the mechanical fundamentals appear sound, but the pattern of deferred minor repairs and persistent advisories signals a vehicle that has been used gently but not particularly well cared for.
