How many Lexus GS 450s are left in Great Britain?
There were 1,855 Lexus GS 450s licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 341 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 33.6% fewer than the peak of 2,795 in 2015.
Lexus GS 450s licensed in Great Britain
Numbers peaked in 2015 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.
There were not enough MOT tests of Lexus GS 450s in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.
Lexus GS 450 registrations over time
Registrations of Lexus GS 450s for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 761 in 2007. In 2025, 1 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “GS”, “GS, MY2014”, “GS450h, MY2016”, “GS, MY2012”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Defect
Fuel tank vent tube assembly could develop a crack which could lead to a fuel leak and a risk of a vehicle fire.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Lexus GS 450. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
