How many Lexus IS Fs are left in Great Britain?
There were 154 Lexus IS Fs licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 41 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 31.3% fewer than the peak of 224 in 2013.
There were not enough MOT tests of Lexus IS Fs 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 IS F registrations over time
Registrations of Lexus IS Fs for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 111 in 2008. In 2025, 8 were registered.

How we use engine sizes.
Lexus IS F fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Lexus IS F from 2008 to 2012. On the NEDC test (listings 2008 to 2012), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 24.4 to 24.8 mpg, with CO2 of 270 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2008 to 2012
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2008 to 2012
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 “IS”, “IS F MY2012”, “IS MY2011”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Lexus IS F safety recalls
DVSA lists 2 safety recalls for the Lexus IS F since 1992, the first in 2014. The most recent was launched on 15 June 2015.
Passenger side airbag may fail to deploy correctly
Launched 15 June 2015DVSA recall R/2015/096Manufacturer ref. BGG23
Defect
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the airbag.
24 Nov 2014 Risk of fire (9,712 (all models) vehicles)
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Lexus IS F. 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.
