Lexus NX 450s licensed in Great Britain at the end of each year
There were not enough MOT tests of Lexus NX 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.

Official WLTP figures by engine and fuel, listed 2022 to 2026
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.
Plug-in hybrid figures are VCA’s weighted values, which count driving on battery power as
well as on fuel.
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 “NX 450h+”, “NX 450h+ MY25”, “NX 450h+ MY26”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Lexus NX 450 safety recalls
DVSA lists 1 safety recall for the Lexus NX 450, launched on 21 August 2023.
DC-DC converter may have been damaged during production
Launched 21 August 2023DVSA recall R/2023/209Manufacturer ref. YGG27 (23SD-075)
Defect
The plug-in hybrid system of the subject vehicles includes a DC-DC converter that reduces the voltage of the electricity from the Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery in order to charge the vehicle’s 12V battery. Contained within the DC-DC converter is a current rectifying module that is installed on the circuit board. Some of these modules may have been damaged during production by the supplier and could fail so creating a short circuit. This allows current from the 12V battery to continue to flow through the module and the module will generate heat. Under certain conditions if excessive heat is generated components within and outside the DC-DC converter could sustain thermal damage increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
Remedy
Replace the DC-DC Converter.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Lexus NX 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.
