Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2009 model has the highest pass rate at 94% from 245 tests. The 2007 model has the lowest at 85%. 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.

Reliability Trend

Newer Lexus LS600Hs pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 4 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.

Mileage Across Years

The oldest model in our data (2007) averages 112,184 miles, while the newest (2012) averages 83,497 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
