Which Lexus RX years should I avoid?

The Lexus RX build year that fails most for its age is 2011: index 109.4 (95% CI 104.9–113.9) against the model's own age norm of 100 (2019–2024, n = 10,834).

Build year matters for the Lexus RX: 2011 Lexus RX models fail more than their age would predict, 2018 ones less. Years whose confidence interval includes normal are shown without a label.

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

Of every 100 Lexus RX models tested at age 5, about 6 failed the MOT first time; at age 10, about 14 (rough estimate). 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 16 and 17, 4.54 percentage points (2024).

Lexus RX MOT: quick answers

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

80.8% of first attempts passed in 2024 (36,487 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 36,487 primary tests: 19.2% failed first time and 85.4% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 59.5 is shown separately.
