Is a SORNd Lexus UX a good deal?

There are quite a few Lexus UX for sale at the present time, all registered April 2023, and all sorned in August 2023. These cars have usually just under 10000m on the clock, which equqtes to 2500 mls per month, all their reg plates begin WR23. Are these likely to be Lexus company cars, and are they going to be a good buy or should is it best to say goodbye to them.

It is possible that these vehicles were used as demonstrators or company cars, and the fact that they have been SORN'd so soon after registration would suggest they have been kept within the Lexus dealer network. There is no obvious reason why they would not make a good purchase, assuming they are in good condition and have been well maintained. It is also important to compare them in terms of value to other examples on the used market to decide whether or not they would make a good purchase.
