2009 Lotus Evora 4 V6 3.5L Petrol · AU59 AHY

The vehicle presents an exemplary level of roadworthiness, maintaining a consistently stable history record. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 June 2026 at 38,576 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet extends across the previous five annual tests back to 2022, indicating that the vehicle is maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical or structural failures typically flagged during MOT testing. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,269 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 34,397 miles and June 2026 at 38,576 miles, the car covered only 4,179 miles over four years. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly or kept in static storage for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking components, it inherently increases the risk of degradation in rubber components and fluid chemistry due to age rather than use. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults or adviseories, a physical inspection should focus on areas susceptible to low-mileage neglect. A buyer must verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as rubber can perish and crack over decades irrespective of distance driven. The brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs on cars that sit stationary for long intervals. Additionally, the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified to ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental corrosion.
