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

This 2001 Lexus has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 55,345 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2020-09-28, which is a major red flag.

A critical mileage anomaly exists: 101,646 miles in Sep 2010, but only 0 miles in Sep 2011, followed by a massive 15.4× increase to 116,313 miles by Sep 2012, indicating potential odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Sep 2010 (101,646 mi) and Sep 2011 (0 mi) — possible odometer tampering.
  • Mileage decreased from 101,646 miles (Sep 2010) to 0 miles (Sep 2011), a strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Not valid MOT status as of 2020-09-28, meaning it has been driving without a valid MOT for years.
  • Recurring suspension failures (coil spring, rear arm) and advisories (brake hose, shock absorber) across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2018) indicates a strong safety record for its time.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the Sep 2019 test, suggesting some recent maintenance.
  • The vehicle has a consistent annual mileage of 7,567 miles/year, which is average for its age.
  • The Lexus model is known for its reliability and durability, especially with proper maintenance.
