Alex34 8 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Hello all! Just joined, planning on getting a CT200h next year and wanted to know if there are any common faults or problems with this model as well as if there is anything in particular I should look out for when purchasing? This will not be my first Lexus but it will be my first hybrid. I previously had an IS300 US version and an Altezza RS200 JDM version. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I do not have one,but others will advise you shortly. What I can advise however is; 1. Do a search on the Forum or just read many of the entries in the CT Section 2. Do buy from a Lexus Dealer 3.Make sure the vehicle has a full Lexus Service History. Make sure you get an initial 12 months warranty 4.Consider taking out a Lexus Extended Warranty after that Do contribute freely and do let us all know how you are getting on. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trunkz 1 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 From my research, the ct200h doesnt have any common issues. There are problems reported on the prius forums with head issues; but this is due to vehicles not using the correct oil and service schedules and again this typically rears its head on higher mileage vehicles. (<100k) There is a joint on the steering system where the bolts need to be replaced with high-tensile bolts; but again this is a five minute job and very simple to do. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
200h 587 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 the only common issue i have heard about on this forum is the egr valve getting clogged up, our members have successfully cleaned them so not a major issue. as john has already said "Do buy from a Lexus Dealer & make sure the vehicle has a full Lexus Service History." all Lexus approved car will come with 1 yr warranty and AA breakdown you can buy a 2yr extended the warranty identical to the dealer warranty for £495 still including AA breakdown for you and any another person at the same address and it possibly comes with mot insurance aswell 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Las Palmas 38 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Have not had ours a long time, but the worst with it is that it so far is better than the previously owned. Even though some of these were more than twice the price. Wife tell me to turn volume down on the audio, but the sound of it is so great that sometimes I do not hear her. Daughter love the car. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alex34 8 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Thanks for the advice guys! Sorry for the late reply. With covid and the strains it's put on the work place, I have barely had any time for myself. I haven't purchased a new car yet but will be doing so this year and it will more than likely be a CT. The plan is to purchase towards the end of Autumn or if my current car breaks before then. I use my motorcycle mostly in the summer months so make sense to wait until the Autumn. The plan was to use Lexus Milton Keynes for the purchase and will now definitely go for an extended warranty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To what age and mileage can you take a warranty out with Lexus and are there any exclusions to be aware of? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can take out a warranty until the vehicle is 10 years old. Exclusions are: Serviceable items Drive belt adjustment Brake and clutch adjustments due to wear Glass replacements due to breakages or impact Corrosion to the exhaust Lights, bulbs and headlight adjustments Window and door lock adjustments Paintwork and bodywork Battery (HV Battery on Hybrids is covered) Interior trim Road wheels https://www.lexus.co.uk/owners/warranty/extended-warranty/#hero 1 hour ago, Las Palmas said: That question is one that I also would like an answer to. The above warranty is operated by Toyota GB - you would need to check with Toyota/Lexus in your country for their T&Cs. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
