How many Lexus LS 600s are left in Great Britain?
There were 466 Lexus LS 600s licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 71 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 13.4% fewer than the peak of 538 in 2016.
There were not enough MOT tests of Lexus LS 600s 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 LS 600 registrations over time
Registrations of Lexus LS 600s for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 226 in 2008. In 2025, 22 were registered.

Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2008 to 2018
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 “LS”, “LS MY2011”, “LS, MY2014”, “LS, MY2013”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Lexus LS 600 safety recalls
DVSA lists 4 safety recalls for the Lexus LS 600 since 1992, the first in 2010. The most recent was launched on 5 October 2020.
Fuel pump impeller can crack and cause fuel pump to become inoprative
Launched 5 October 2020DVSA recall R/2020/060Manufacturer ref. 20SMD-004
Defect
On affected vehicles the low pressure fuel pump located in the fuel tank could become inoperative.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Lexus LS 600. 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.
