LOTUS EXIGE2017 · 3.5L PETROL

The most recent MOT from August 2025 was a clean pass with no defects recorded, which suggests the vehicle is currently in a good state of repair. The primary mechanical pattern in the history involves recurring issues with brake disc corrosion and tyre condition. Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple mentions of pitted or scored brake discs, specifically on the inner faces, as well as tyre cuts and wear. There was also a failure in August 2023 due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. The overall trend is improving. The vehicle moved from several tyre and brake advisories and a TPMS failure in 2022 and 2023 to a clean MOT result in 2025. This indicates that the previous owner has addressed the recurring issues. The mileage is very low for a nine-year-old car, averaging under 2,000 miles per year. In this context, the recorded corrosion on the inner faces of the brake discs is a strong indicator of periods of under-use or the car standing for long intervals, rather than heavy wear from high mileage. A buyer should first inspect the brake discs for any remaining surface corrosion and carefully check the tyre sidewalls for cuts or uneven wear, as these have been persistent issues in the past.
