LOTUS EXIGE2013 · 3.5L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test in November 2025 at 31,510 miles. This followed a successful repair of a mechanical failure, indicating that the owner addresses safety-critical defects once they are identified. The lack of advisories across the last three successful tests suggests that the vehicle is currently kept in good mechanical condition despite its infrequent use. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Between December 2022 and November 2024, the car covered only 2,326 miles, confirming a pattern of seasonal use or long-term storage rather than high-mileage commuting. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid-related issues due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically the offside rear coil spring which fractured in November 2024 at 30,664 miles. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check for perished rubber in suspension bushes, brake lines, and tyres sidewalls which can crack from age rather than wear. The tester should also examine the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods are prone to surface rust and internal piston seizing.
