AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Lexus has 22 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 23,245 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated tyre issues and a 2007 lamp failure warrant careful investigation.

The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,772 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 6-year period of very low usage (2019-2022).

Things to check

  • 2009-10-09: Failed MOT for both front tyres below 1.6mm, a dangerous defect.
  • 2008-05-10: Advisories for all four tyres worn close to legal limit.
  • 2007-03-23: Failed MOT for offside front position lamp not working.
  • Aug 2019: Advisories for front and rear brake pads wearing thin.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2018): 5-star safety rating.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,772 miles/year.
  • No recurring major mechanical failures (e.g., engine, gearbox) on MOT.
  • Single minor failure (lamp) in 2007 was immediately rectified.
