Approved Used Lexus MOT advisory

[Rakip123]

Afternoon all,

Bought an auc around 3 weeks ago, during purchase I noticed an advisory on the MOT that the rear brake discs were worn and pitted, the sales advisor confirmed this had been rectified during the MOT at the time took this at face value, issue is we t to check tyre pressures today and the discs to my layman knowledge doesn't look like it has 400 miles / 5 months, what do you guys think is it me or does the image below not look consistent with what the dealer is saying?

Thanks that ties in with my thoughts, the car was sold on the basis of having had all MOT advisories were fixed, I'll get in touch with them see what they have to say.

Thanks guys, it's a ct200h, it does have regen braking but the discs were mentioned as an advisory on the MOT, does that mean next time around it will be a failure?

Was about to leave it but I'll definitely get in touch with the dealer, how are approved used cars so haphazardly checked, after purchase within a week I noticed a fuel leak (now repaired), work that they say has been done hasn't, if you need to make a warranty claim the dealer will want a £186 diagnostic fee to validate what your saying, i thought rather foolishly that given its a main dealer they wouldn't want you coming back so assumed I wouldn't need to double-check, well that's taught me a lesson

Would it be the same for 2 months no use? just rechecked the MOT paperwork the discs were changed in October and sat at the dealership till sold to me I e done less than 500 miles

Anyone else that's bought an auc - did you check it over yourself before purchase or do you take the dealer's word?
