A LS600hl that has only done 75 miles in the last 5 years...

Terry99 · October 16

I'm thinking of buying a 2011 LS600HL with 103k miles that has only done 75 miles in the last five years. It has not had service since 2019, but before that, it had the full Lexus history. Having looked at the history, nothing major has been done, just normal servicing and a few bits of paint.

It has just gone through an MOT with no advisories.

Should I be worried? are the shocks about to go, or are the other suspect suspension issues about to surface? What are the collective thoughts?

Maybe get an independent new MOT from your local or a trusted garage to make certain nothings been missed or forgotten about ……. then take it from there ………

You might be lucky and be buying a peach of a car OR maybe not

Let us know how that all goes and more useful thoughts might be with us 🤔

Good luck

I would get a Lexus dealer to carry out a Hybrid Health Check and give it a once over and then take it from there?

Hi Terry, what a find!

Is there an interesting back story?

Sounds very tempting to me, I agree with Mark the Lexus health check gave me a useful baseline reference to work from for my last purchase and in this instance you could well cover the cost by using it to reduce the purchase price.

If the price was right I'd go for it if I was you. Even if you do have to invest a little to bring it up to speed, the return on that investment will be years of pleasurable wafting.
