Lexus Ls600h (2007)
2007 Lexus Ls600h
CarHunch analysed 117 real MOT records for the 2007 Lexus Ls600h. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Lexus LS600H has a first-time pass rate of 88.2%, which beats the UK average of 80% and signals generally solid reliability for its age. However, 34.2% of vehicles in this cohort have recorded at least one dangerous defect during their MOT history—a notably high figure that suggests electrical or brake system issues may emerge, particularly in a complex hybrid model.
These cars average around 88,000 miles at test, typical for their age, but they rack up 13.9 advisories per vehicle, indicating recurring minor wear issues that accumulate over time. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the hybrid battery condition and electrical systems, since the high dangerous-defect rate suggests these areas warrant close scrutiny.
What to check before buying a 2007 Lexus Ls600h
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.
- ⚠️ 34.2% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
