Like any vehicle, the Lexus CT's brake pads and rotors will wear over time. The hybrid system can sometimes reduce wear on the friction brakes due to regenerative braking, but they still require regular inspection. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $600.

The 12V auxiliary battery, which powers the car's electronics when the hybrid system is off or at low speeds, can degrade over time. Its failure can prevent the car from starting or operating normally. Estimated repair cost: $150 - $300.
