Insight summary

Lexus IS220 is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 3,096 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 75.6% from 34,087 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 57. The current pool shows an average of 135,933 miles and an average age of 16.2 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 135,933 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are lighting, battery insecure but not likely to fall from carrier and windscreen damage. The practical read is that the Lexus IS220 looks a little better than average, but still rewards careful checks on mileage and maintenance.
