2022 Lotus Unknown 3.5L Petrol · AU22 BUV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on April 24, 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only recorded defect occurred just two days prior to that pass. The failure at 16,521 miles was limited to incorrect headlamp aim on both the nearside and offside units, which is a calibration-related issue rather than an indication of mechanical failure or structural decay. At 16,531 miles over four years, the car reflects a low-usage profile averaging approximately 4,133 miles per year. This low rate of accumulation typically results in reduced mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, the 10-mile gap between the failure and the pass in April 2025 suggests the vehicle was driven specifically to a specialist to rectify the lighting alignment, indicating the owner was responsive to immediate MOT safety-related requirements. A buyer should verify that the headlamp alignment remains consistent and that the mounting brackets are not stripped or loose. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should also focus on signs of flat-spotting tyres or corrosion on brake discs, which can occur when vehicles sit for extended periods. While the record shows no advisories for suspension bushes or structural integrity, a thorough check of the fluid levels and seals is advisable to ensure the low mileage has not led to degradation of rubber components.
