Thanks to everyone for their prompt replies.
The question of MOT is an interesting one. On the last one in June 14, the corrosion on the dust covers was listed as an advisory. In addition, my nephew owns the MOT test centre and he's told me it's a failure. However Markrat says that he's taken them off and his car has passed since. I know MOT test Centres are far more strict now but perhaps it's one of those things that can get missed.
I could do with hearing from someone who's actually sourced some replacements?

Both of the rear disc brake dust shields have rotted on my 2004 Lexus RX300. Lexus want £330 plus VAT each for them so £800 for a pair and that doesn't include fitting! How can they justify that price for a piece of pressed metal?
The problem is that the lack of them is a MOT failure so I've only got until June to get them fitted. I found a breaker on eBay but the guy wants to sell them c/w the hubs for £100 each. I suppose that's not bad compared to Lexus parts but even so it's a bit steep and I don't need the hubs.
I can't think I'm alone in needing these but I can't find any reference on the net. I've tried eBay.com and alibaba without any luck.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I notice my profile says 2006 LS430 but the above is for a 2004 RX300
