Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Lexus Ux?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Lexus Ux?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

The 2022 Lexus UX is exceptionally reliable, with a 97.5% first-time MOT pass rate that sits nearly 18 percentage points above the UK average of 80%—among the best performers in its class. Dangerous defects are rare, appearing in just 1.6% of vehicles, so safety concerns are minimal.

At an average mileage of 22,696 miles for a two-year-old car, these examples are running well within normal wear expectations, and the low failure rate of 0.06 per vehicle reflects genuine build quality rather than low-mileage bias. If you're buying one, check the service history carefully—these cars rarely fail MOTs, so any defect that does appear is worth investigating.

The 2022 Lexus Ux passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (97.5% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
