AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Lexus has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 28,556 miles. The timing belt and oil leak issues reported by the community add to the overall risk profile.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,756 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a notable 2025 service gap is present.
Things to check
- Recurring Engine/Oil advisories across 5 tests (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019) indicate a persistent issue.
- Recurring Tyres advisories across 2 tests (2017, 2019) and a 2024 failure for worn tyres suggest chronic neglect.
- Recurring Brakes advisories across 2 tests (2016, 2017) and a 2026 advisory for worn pads point to ongoing maintenance needs.
- A 2025 service gap in MOT history is a red flag for potential unrecorded periods of non-use or neglect.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2018): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age (6,756 mi/yr) suggests no odometer fraud.
