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 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 11,094 miles.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 393 miles per year before September 2015, followed by a significant increase in usage.

Things to check

  • No MOT history recorded between 2015-07-28 and 2016-09-29 — a 14-year gap is a major red flag.
  • Failed MOT on 2017-06-27 with advisory for front brake pads wearing thin.
  • Recurring advisories for tyres, lights, and brakes across multiple tests.
  • Mileage of 393 miles per year before September 2015 is highly suspicious.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-14, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases since 2015, despite initial low usage.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2018) suggests good inherent safety.
