LC500h at Sytner

[PRT68]

Anyone know of this car please?

Seems a good price, but the MOT history is suspect. 1st one, mileage not recorded, 2nd one a couple of months later shows the  mileage. 

Later, all 4 tyres mentioned at 12k, which seems a bit early. 

I've sent an email early today asking if it has full Lexus history etc, but no reply yet. 

Gut feeling is it's had the mileage corrected at some stage, so I'll steer clear, unless anyone knows of it.

Maybe he went over a stinger whilst fleeing the scuffers at 150mph?

Sometimes there is a good reason for MOT discrepancies. I had a garage get the mileage wrong through carelessness and it was impossible to correct. But it always pays to check these things out just in case there is foul play.

 

NO! not that kind of fowl play!!

Missed vital details from my original post! Car is at Sytners Wakefield, white, 17 reg and priced at £43950.

I don't have an LC,but it's a big,heavy, powerful car and it could easily shred a set of tyres in that distance if driven hard.The Porsche I had some years ago got through  rear sets fairly quickly,if they didn't puncture first.

My RCF mileage went down 5 miles at its 2nd service due to mileage being incorrectly inputted!  Was MOT’d a month earlier than its service at Swindon and they claimed it was operator error.  As for tyres, 12k miles isn’t too bad, couldn’t worry too much about it….

It’s not hugely unusual for the MOT Tester to mis-specify the mileage but usually by omission of a digit ……. Say 47512 to 7512 ….. happened to me once a while back 

Correct  the following year ok 

and as for tyre wear …… mine on a quite heavy V8 4ltr, usually last up to 25k miles on the front and 30k rear ……. Properly balanced, tracking, suspension wear etc and driving style and not throwing the car around makes for improved tyre life surely 🤔

Yes 12K from the rears is not out of the question. I had a warning from Lexus that my 9K old  front tyres were looking a bit iffy. But the lexus dealer likes to sell replacements well before they are needed.

I had all four tyres changed at 14k and I do not drive it to hard.

Thank you all for the replies. They still haven't got back to me, and I'm going to give it a miss.

I've had MOT's where they have taken the trip counter reading rather than the odometer so not that unusual, you have to raise it at the time of the MOT to get it corrected.

My LC is on 12,400 miles and tyres about due for a change

they are big fat tyres and scrub out easily

I cant even see this particular car online. 

Any link to it?
