AI verdict AVOID 22/100

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

This 2003 Lexus has 23 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 34,391 miles. This, combined with a 23-year-old vehicle and a 2018 Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2003 car, makes it an unassessable purchase.

A 4,000-mile decrease is recorded between May 2015 (153,623 mi) and May 2015 (153,623 mi), and an unusually high 30,831-mile/year equivalent jump before June 2007 (30,831 mi/yr vs 8,000 mi/yr UK average).

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between May 2014 (154,393 mi) and May 2015 (153,623 mi) — possible odometer tamper
  • Mileage decreased by 4,000 miles between May 2015 tests — possible odometer tampering.
  • Unusually high mileage jump of 30,831 miles/year equivalent before June 2007 — inconsistent usage.
  • Not ULEZ-compliant — will incur £12.50/day in London.

Working in its favour

  • No recurring major failures identified in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage for its age.
  • The car has a valid MOT until April 2025, indicating current roadworthiness.
