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

This 2007 Lexus has 7 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 85,313 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring brake and suspension issues, combined with the mileage discrepancy, make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage decreased by 63,500 miles between Nov 2018 (199,945 mi) and Jul 2025 (136,445 mi), indicating a possible odometer tampering or a significant data error.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Nov 2018 (199,945 mi) and Jul 2025 (136,445 mi) — possible odometer tamper

  • Major lighting failure on 2013-06-25, with recurring advisories for headlamps.

Working in its favour
