How ULEZ rules apply to the CT
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006). Electric versions always comply.
- Hybrid (petrol) (89% of CT models tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Petrol (3% of CT models tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Electric (3% of CT models tested): always compliant.

Buying a used Lexus CT for London: what the MOT data shows
The Lexus CT models in this data were first registered between 2011 and 2020. 2012 was the most common year, with 4,210 tests (14% of the total), and half were registered in 2014 or later.
Almost every CT in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2020) passed first time 94% of the time at 22,265 miles on average, and the oldest (2011) passed 79% at 98,850 miles.
Whichever year you choose, check the CT's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (2.1% of tests); lights and electrics: "not working on dipped beam" (2.1%); tyres: "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (1.5%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 11.8% of tests.
Overall, 85% of CT models passed first time, well above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 69,372 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
