2020 Lotus Exige 3.5L Petrol · AY70 AYM

This Lotus Exige maintains a stable and exemplary roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT test on 5 December 2025 at 11,965 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes in November 2023 and December 2024, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in peak mechanical condition without the typical degradation seen in aging sports cars. The mileage is exceptionally low for a six year old vehicle, averaging under 2,000 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 8,815 miles and the December 2025 test at 11,965 miles, the car covered only 3,150 miles over two years. Such low usage suggests the car has likely been stored for long periods, which preserves the interior and bodywork but can introduce specific risks associated with vehicle dormancy. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that deteriorate regardless of mileage. The absence of MOT advisories is positive, but the low usage pattern means rubber components such as tyre sidewalls and suspension bushes may suffer from age-related perishing rather than wear. Check the tyre date stamps for hardening or cracking and verify that the brake discs have not developed surface corrosion or pitting from standing. Ensure the battery health is verified and the fluids are fresh, as infrequent driving cycles can lead to moisture buildup in the oil and fuel system. While the DVSA records show no structural issues or corrosion, a manual check of the chassis mounting points is advisable to confirm the vehicle has been stored in a climate-controlled environment.
