2022 Lexus Nx 450h + Takumi PHEV CVT

CarHunch analysed 283 real MOT records for the 2022 Lexus Nx 450h + Takumi PHEV CVT. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2022 Lexus NX 450h+ is a genuinely reliable proposition—its 93.5% first-time pass rate sits well clear of the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are virtually non-existent at just 0.7% of vehicles. You're looking at a car that, on average, arrives at its MOT test with almost nothing wrong: just 0.05 failures and 0.3 advisories per vehicle.

At 21,084 miles median and 22,731 miles average, these cars are running light for their age, which goes some way to explaining the clean sheet, though it also means long-term durability is still unproven. If you're buying one, focus your inspection on the battery health and hybrid system components rather than conventional wear items—the MOT data won't catch electrical degradation that only shows up over years of ownership.

What to check before buying a 2022 Lexus Nx 450h + Takumi PHEV CVT

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.
