AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2006 Lexus has 22 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 46,459 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated advisories and failures point to a vehicle requiring significant ongoing maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,892 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a significant spike in 2024-2025 suggests a change in usage or driving style.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension arm advisories (2019, 2022, 2026) and anti-roll bar link failures (2012, 2026) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (2019, 2021, 2026) and brake pad wear (2010, 2011, 2012) suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance.
- The 2024-2025 mileage spike (18,681 miles in 12 months) is unusual for a 20-year-old hybrid.
- Three failures with no defect details (Apr 2024, Apr 2025, May 2026) are a significant red flag for unaddressed safety issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-10 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory over 20 years, averaging 9,892 miles/year, shows no fraud.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
