Lexus Es (2022)
2022 Lexus Es
CarHunch analysed 1,043 real MOT records for the 2022 Lexus Es. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Lexus ES is exceptionally reliable, with a 97.4% first-time MOT pass rate that towers 17 points above the UK average of 80%—this is genuinely impressive for a vehicle this new. Dangerous defects are virtually non-existent at just 1.3% of the cohort, so structural or safety failures are not a buyer concern.
These cars are running at sensible mileage for their age, averaging 27,360 miles, and owners are reporting almost no failures (0.06 per vehicle) with minimal advisory issues at 0.4 per car. If you're considering a 2022 ES, focus your inspection on routine wear items and servicing history rather than worrying about major mechanical problems.
What to check before buying a 2022 Lexus Es
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
