AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Lexus has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 35,305 miles. The recent October 2025 MOT failure for a wiper defect, combined with a lack of detailed defect explanations, requires thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage, averaging 10,579 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension arm advisories across 4 separate MOT tests (Oct 2022, Oct 2023, Oct 2024, Oct 2025) suggest chronic wear.
- Recurring brake pad and disc advisories across 3 separate MOT tests (Nov 2020, Oct 2025) indicate a history of maintenance neglect.
- The October 2025 MOT failure for an ineffective front wiper, despite a subsequent PASS, is a recent safety concern.
- No detailed defect breakdowns are provided for the 2018-05-24 FAILED test, which is a significant omission.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2018): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,579 miles/year, well above the UK average of 8,000.
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
