The 2021 Lexus UX 300e is a genuinely reliable proposition, with a 92.8% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, and a dangerous defect rate of just 3.1% — essentially a non-issue for buyers. This electric small SUV is arriving at MOT with minimal wear, averaging only 23,170 miles, which suggests owners are treating them carefully and the battery/drivetrain isn't showing premature degradation.

If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection to confirm battery health and charging history, but the MOT data strongly backs this as a low-risk ownership choice.
What to check before buying a 2021 Lexus Ux 300e
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.
