* UK vehicles require their first MOT at 3 years old. Recent model years shown in grey have little or no MOT test data yet — pass rate data will build up as those vehicles mature.

Which year Lexus Es is most reliable?

Tests range from an average of 24,114 miles (newest year) to 37,007 miles (oldest year). Older years naturally accumulate more tests at higher mileages — see the mileage-normalised breakdown →
