AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2005 Lexus has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 160,327 miles. The vehicle has no valid MOT, a dangerous brake defect, and a 5-year gap in MOT history.
The mileage trajectory shows normal annual usage (10,116 miles/yr) until a suspiciously low 92 miles/yr was recorded between Mar 2024 and Mar 2025.
Things to check
- No valid MOT certificate as of the analysis date, which is a critical legal and safety concern.
- DANGEROUS defect recorded on 2025-03-20 for 'Service brake efficiency below requirements' — an immediate safety hazard.
- Mileage anomaly: recorded only 92 miles in the 5 years from Mar 2024 to Mar 2025, indicating a significant period of inactivity or potential fraud.
- Recurring suspension corrosion advisories (2022-02-15 and 2022-02-15) on both sides of the vehicle, suggesting structural neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2018) indicates a strong safety record for this model.
- Consistent annual mileage before 2024 (10,116 miles/yr), suggesting regular use and maintenance.
- No recurring failures on the same system after the initial dangerous brake defect in 2025.
