Our Verdict
Approach with caution and ensure the recent MOT failure is fully resolved before purchase. This 2022 Lotus has covered low mileage but has a single recorded MOT failure that must be investigated.
Before committing to purchase, confirm that the June 2025 MOT failure has been rectified and that a valid pass certificate is in place, as the history shows only a failure with no subsequent pass recorded. Given the vehicle is a 2022 model with limited history, insist on a full service record to verify routine maintenance has been carried out despite the low mileage. As no aggregate reliability data exists for this Lotus model, budget for an independent pre-purchase inspection by a Lotus specialist to identify any hidden issues.
With a 3456cc petrol engine, this Lotus will incur higher fuel costs than smaller vehicles, and insurance groups for Lotus sports cars are typically elevated. Road tax for a petrol engine of this size registered in 2022 will fall into a higher CO2-based band, though exact figures are not provided in the data. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance are likely to be significant for a large-engined performance car.
The recorded MOT failure on 2025-06-04 at 19,650 miles was for a near-side rear direction indicator not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii)), so physically verify all indicators operate correctly and check for any underlying wiring or bulb-holder corrosion. Inspect the bodywork and chassis of this blue 2022 example for signs of track use or weather damage, as Lotus vehicles are often lightly used but can suffer from moisture ingress. Confirm the odometer reading matches the 19,650 miles recorded and look for general wear consistent with that low mileage.
This blue 3456cc petrol Lotus was first registered in June 2022 and recorded 19,650 miles at its 2025 MOT test. The only MOT event on record is a failure in June 2025 due to a near-side rear direction indicator not working. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so assessment is limited to the individual vehicle history provided.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the LOTUS UNKNOWN model, so no reliability reputation can be stated from the provided information.
