Used Lexus Cars at Vertu

Lexus occupies a distinctive corner of the luxury market. As the premium arm of Toyota, it pairs lavish, beautifully built cars with a reputation for reliability that regularly tops owner surveys, and a long lead in self-charging hybrid technology. On the used market, that combination of luxury and dependability is unusually compelling.

The used Lexus range spans the compact UX, the popular NX and larger RX SUVs, the ES and IS saloons, the CT hatchback and the fully electric RZ. Whichever body style and powertrain suits you, there is a used Lexus built around it.

Every used car at Vertu is prepared and checked by our colleagues before it reaches the forecourt, then backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee. If a car is not right for you, you have a fortnight to exchange it or take a refund.

Flexible finance, including PCP and HP, is available across our used car range, and part-exchange lets you put your current car towards your next one.

Buying used also widens what your budget reaches. Because a premium car takes its steepest depreciation early, a used Lexus can put a higher trim or a larger model within reach for the same outlay.

Why Buy a Used Lexus?

Reliability sets a used Lexus apart. The brand consistently ranks at or near the top of dependability studies, sharing Toyota's proven engineering while adding its own layer of meticulous build quality, so a used example tends to be a remarkably trouble-free ownership prospect.

Refinement is the other half of the appeal. Lexus cabins are hushed, beautifully finished and generously equipped, with the brand's takumi craftsmanship evident throughout, and much of that luxury carries straight over to the second owner at a fraction of the original price.

Then there is the hybrid expertise. Lexus has offered self-charging hybrids longer than almost anyone, so the used market is full of smooth, efficient hybrid models that lower running costs without the need to plug in, backed by a long track record of durability.

*The highlights shown describe the models in general terms. Used examples span several model years, so specification, powertrains and features vary by age and trim. Confirm the details of any specific car with a colleague.

WLTP figures are recorded under controlled laboratory conditions and offer a helpful guide for comparing models, though they may not always reflect real-world driving. Actual range and efficiency will vary with weather, driving style, road conditions, and vehicle load.

Lexus Self-Charging and Plug-in Hybrids Explained

Lexus was an early pioneer of hybrid power, and most of its used range is electrified. A self-charging hybrid, which Lexus has offered for many years, pairs a petrol engine with an electric motor and a small battery that recharges as you drive, running on electric power for a good share of town driving with no need to plug in, and delivering smooth, quiet progress and strong economy.

More recent models such as the NX and RX are also offered as a plug-in hybrid, with a larger battery you charge from the mains for a longer electric-only range. The UX is available as the fully electric UX 300e, and the RZ is a dedicated electric SUV, both with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving. Which powertrain a specific used Lexus has depends on the model and its age, so it is worth confirming before buying.

Finance and Part-Exchange

Spreading the cost of a used car is straightforward, with two main routes and a part-exchange to put towards either.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) keeps monthly payments lower by settling most of the cost at the end. You can then pay the final amount to own the car, hand it back, or part-exchange it for your next one.

Hire Purchase (HP) is the simpler ownership route, with fixed monthly payments and the car yours once the last one clears.

A free, no-obligation valuation tells you what your current car is worth towards the deal, and Vertu will still buy cars that have finance outstanding. Our finance explained guide sets out the options in full.

Used Lexus Cars: Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Used Lexus a Reliable Car?

Exceptionally so. Lexus consistently ranks at or near the top of reliability and owner satisfaction studies, combining Toyota's proven engineering with meticulous build quality. A used Lexus with a full service history is one of the most dependable luxury cars you can buy.

Its self-charging hybrids are particularly well proven, with the technology now in its several generations. A verified service record is worth checking on any car you consider.

What Is the Best Used Lexus to Buy?

It depends on what you need. For families, the NX is a hugely popular mid-size luxury SUV, with the larger RX offering more space and the option of seven seats. The compact UX suits city and smaller-family use, while the ES and IS are refined executive saloons.

If you want to go fully electric, the UX 300e and dedicated RZ are compelling luxury EVs. A colleague can match the right model to your budget and driving.

What Is a Self-Charging Hybrid?

A self-charging hybrid, which Lexus has offered for many years, pairs a petrol engine with an electric motor and a small battery that recharges automatically as you drive, particularly under braking. It runs on electric power for much of town driving without ever needing to plug in, giving smooth, quiet progress and strong fuel economy.

It suits drivers who want lower running costs and a more electric feel without the commitment of charging. A colleague can explain the differences between the self-charging, plug-in hybrid and fully electric Lexus models.

Are Used Lexus Electric Cars Available?

Yes. The Lexus range includes the fully electric UX 300e and the dedicated RZ electric SUV, both with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving, alongside plug-in hybrid versions of the NX and RX. Availability on the used market depends on what has come through, so it is worth checking current stock.

Range, charging speed and equipment vary by model, battery and trim, so confirm the details of any specific car before buying.

Can I Finance or Part-Exchange a Used Lexus?

Yes. Vertu offers PCP and HP finance across its used car range, and accepts part-exchange towards any car. A free, no-obligation valuation tells you what your current car is worth, and Vertu will still buy vehicles that have finance outstanding to settle.

PCP keeps monthly payments lower with an optional final payment, while HP splits the full cost into fixed payments until the car is yours. Our finance explained guide covers each option in detail.

Can I Buy a Used Lexus Online from Vertu?

Yes. You can reserve or buy a used car online through Vertu, choosing home delivery or collection. Free home delivery is available up to 30 miles, and every used car comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee, so you can change your mind after it arrives.

A personalised video tour of the car is available before you commit, and a colleague can guide you through any step online or by phone.
