So who has the most miles on one of these? My 2020 I'm up to 106k but I'm sure there are others with more. Nothing but normal services and a set of tires for me.
That’s really high and good to hear you haven’t needed much maintenance. My 2020 is at 80k miles. Brakes are still great but may need new rotors before I hit 100k miles. I replaced my transmission fluid this weekend out of caution.
update: I also replaced my rear differential fluid, the old fluid still looked fresh.
Viktor’s videos have been very helpful. I just had to figure out the jack points since I don’t have a lift.
i have a 2019 ux200 with about 140,000 km (about 85,000 miles). I drive mostly highway miles, so when I looked at benefits of the hybrid, it didn't hold them for me. I have separate winter tires, so I haven't even had to buy new tires yet. I did my front brake pads last year, and that's about it.
I'm super interested in your transmission fluid change. I cannot find anything definitive online about this. You see some places say it's "lifetime" and you see some places give the canned answer of "every 30-60k miles". In addition, even the fluid recommendations seem to be all over the place. I think Viktor's video recommends a regular ATF, which puzzles me since we have CVT's.
Anyways, can you tell me more? Did you do it yourself? And what fluid did you use?

yes, I did it myself in my garage. I used the OEM fluid Viktor mentioned in his video. I purchased the fluid and washers from Lexus parts online (search by different dealers, their prices vary wildly). In my case Santa Barbara Lexus had the best prices. I needed about 3.5 quarts to refill.
The hardest part was figuring out exactly where the front jack point is. The Lexus service manual has a line illustration of the spot that is a little vague.
Thanks for getting back. It's something I'll tackle this summer after sourcing all the right materials.
I noticed in one of your other threads you mentioned the front jack point was tricky. Before I start jacking it up, I drive it up on a couple 2x10 scraps I have laying around the garage. That buys me just a enough room get the jack under, and make tiny little wiggle pumps for the first few.
Transaxle fluid should definitely be replaced. It's cheap and easy to do. I believe you have to install new drain plugs. Get a fluid pump as well to get the fluid in. I did a writeup on the CT200h forum a while back you can check it. Always add extra support under your lifted/jacked car by throwing a wheel or two underneath it, or some other solid heavy tall object. Extra security.
Thought I'd update this as I hit 150k today. Tossed on a new set of tires a couple weeks ago, otherwise just normal servicing. Last winter I hit some debris on the highway that damaged the radiator so the 150k service of swapping the coolant was already done.
2019 with 235,634 miles, I am the second owner, bought it used with 225000 miles. Original battery, and just regular maintenance. The previous owner even continued with the OEM run flats. Car has been great, I have changed the 12 volt battery and fluids.

Mind sharing what you paid for the car? I plan on selling mine in a year or so and wondering how much of a bath I'll take due to the miles haha.
Nspooner I paid $11,275. I have had the car for 11 months, I purchased it in January of 24. The vehicle is in very good condition. It was a private party craigslist sale. Hope this info helps you in your endeavors to part with your vehicle.

Well done! I'm at 210k now. Also I didn't realize they changed the dash from 19 to 20.
What is different with the dash from the 19 to the 20?
I have had several vehicles that have ticked the 1/4 million mile mark but none have felt as good as my UX does. If we were still in the days of mechanical odometers I think you could easily clock my car to under a 100k and no one would second guess it. These cars are built incredibly well.
