Does a Lexus CT rust more than average?

Allowing for age, Lexus CT MOTs record corrosion failures at 0.1 times the national rate: 0.12% of tests against 0.77% (2024 + geographic layers, n = 31,141).

How many years is a Lexus CT likely to last?

Lexus CTs aged 10 are forecast to keep taking MOTs for at least 2.0 more years; the survival curve is observed only until age 13, so the true figure is likely higher.

If a Lexus CT fails, does it fail again?

20.8% of Lexus CTs that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 14.1% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 7,765). The failure most likely to come back is ‘lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment’: 26.1% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Lexus CT cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Lexus CTs tested at age 5, about 11 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 10, about 14. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time; the steepest one-year step in this cross-section is between cars aged 10 and 11, 7.64 percentage points (2024).

Does the Lexus CT fail inspections in other countries too?

In Finland, 8.3% of Lexus CTs failed their periodic roadworthiness inspection, against 26.3% for all cars there (2024 by country, n = 935 inspections).

Inspections abroad point the same way: in Finland the Lexus CT also fails less often than the national average.

Lexus CT MOT: quick answers

What is the Lexus CT first-time MOT pass rate?

83.4% of first attempts passed in 2024 (31,149 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 31,149 primary tests: 16.62% failed first time and 88.6% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 60.8 is shown separately.
