2009 Lotus Evora 4 V6 3.5L Petrol · AU59 AEK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 9 June 2026, confirming its roadworthiness. The maintenance trend remains stable, with the car passing its most recent inspection at 55,207 miles despite a minor advisory regarding the nearside front anti-roll bar bush. While the 2025 test required a re-test due to headlamp alignment and tyre condition, these issues were addressed immediately, indicating a proactive approach to rectifying failures rather than deferred maintenance. With a total of 55,207 miles over seventeen years, the Lotus averages roughly 3,247 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile suggests the vehicle has seen limited seasonal use, which is typical for a performance car of this era. The record shows a consistent pattern of annual testing, with no significant gaps in the history, confirming the vehicle has remained in regular circulation rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components, specifically the anti-roll bar bushes noted in the latest test. Given the age of the vehicle and the nature of its chassis, check for signs of perishing in rubber bushings and seals that may have degraded due to time rather than high mileage. The tyres flagged in 2025 were replaced to pass the test, but verify the current tread depth and date codes across all four corners to ensure they remain suitable for the performance characteristics of the V6 engine. Inspect the headlamp units for clarity and secure mounting, as the 2025 failure regarding aim could point to potential issues with the adjustment mechanisms or housing stability.
