What we focus on with the hybrid Lexus IS 300h

  • Battery cooling. Vents and cooling for the high-voltage pack are checked, as blocked cooling shortens battery life.
  • Inverter and converter. Power electronics are scanned for stored faults and overheating history.
  • High-voltage battery. We read the hybrid battery data for state of health and weak cells, since a tired pack is the costliest part to replace.
  • Engine–motor transitions. On the road we check that the switch between petrol and electric drive is smooth and fault-free.
  • 12V system. A flat or weak 12V battery causes baffling faults on hybrids; we verify it is healthy.

Lexus IS 300h: frequently asked questions

How much does a pre-purchase inspection of the Lexus IS 300h cost?

An on-site inspection of the Lexus IS 300h starts at 35,999 Ft for the Standard package, where you attend in person and we go through the findings with you at the car. The Digital Inspection Package costs 39,999 Ft and is carried out without you there, with the results sent as photographs, video and a written report by email. The inspection itself is identical in both, the call-out fee within Budapest is included, and there are no hidden extras.

What are the common faults to check on a used Lexus IS 300h?

Knowing where a Lexus IS 300h tends to struggle is half the battle when you buy one used. What we scrutinise hardest here is battery cooling, inverter and converter and high-voltage battery. That is why a thorough inspection — what many people call vehicle inspection Budapest, or search for as mobile car inspection Budapest — matters so much on the Lexus IS 300h.

Can you check the Lexus IS 300h's service history and mileage?

Yes. We cross-check the VIN across the car and its documents, review the service records for plausibility, and compare the Lexus IS 300h's indicated mileage against its physical wear. A reading that does not match the condition, or a history with unexplained gaps, is flagged so you are protected against an altered odometer or a misrepresented car.

Is a pre purchase inspection of the Lexus IS 300h really worth it?

For the price of a single inspection you avoid the risk of a hidden repair that can cost many times more — a tired turbo, a worn clutch or a degraded battery.

Yes. Whether the Lexus IS 300h is a private sale or sitting on a dealer's forecourt, we apply the same independent, on-the-spot inspection.
