Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2009 model has the highest pass rate at 90% from 207 tests. The 2007 model has the lowest at 81%. The 9 point gap means pass rates vary somewhat between years, but no year is dramatically different. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.

Newer Lexus LS460s pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 8 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.
Mileage Across Years
The oldest model in our data (2006) averages 104,382 miles, while the newest (2009) averages 98,142 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
