Buying a used Lexus NX for London: what the MOT data shows
The Lexus NX models in this data were first registered between 2014 and 2021. 2019 was the most common year, with 4,592 tests (18% of the total), and half were registered in 2018 or later.
Every NX in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2021) passed first time 95% of the time at 21,552 miles on average, and the oldest (2014) passed 87% at 67,836 miles.
Whichever year you choose, check the NX's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (2.7% of tests); tyres: "has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords" (1.2%) and "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (0.7%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 12.1% of tests.
Overall, 91% of NX models passed first time, well above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 41,598 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
