What Lexus Gs250 failures look like

1,118 Lexus Gs250 tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 326 tests (29.2%), with brakes on 289 tests (25.8%) and with lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment on 57 tests (5.1%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.

Narrowed down from the categories to the individual defects themselves, three come up on more than one test:

  • Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge

    MOT inspection manual reference 5.2.3, in axles, wheels, tyres and suspension

    Recorded on 244 of the 1,118 tests: 30 failures and 214 advisories or minors.

  • Brake pad(s) wearing thin

    MOT inspection manual reference 1.1.13, in brakes

    Recorded on 138 of the 1,118 tests: 32 failures and 106 advisories or minors.

  • Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened

    MOT inspection manual reference 1.1.14, in brakes

    Recorded on 73 of the 1,118 tests: 2 failures and 71 advisories or minors.

Where there is enough data to compare: Lexus Ct (269,473 tests), Lexus Nx (185,818 tests), Lexus Is (125,762 tests), Lexus Is250 (104,291 tests), every Lexus model (1,504,186 tests).

Clauses are read from the manual reference at the end of every defect on the cached test records, and a defect shown here has to appear on at least two of them before it is named. The site-wide breakdown explains how that works and compares every make.
