LOTUS EXIGE2017 · 3.5L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 27 January 2022 was a clean pass at 655 miles, with no recorded defects. With only one MOT entry, there is no recurring mechanical pattern to analyse; the vehicle’s condition appears stable from the available data. At nine years old the recorded mileage of 655 miles (about 73 miles per year) is exceptionally low. This could mean the Exige has been driven very lightly, which may reduce wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres and suspension components. Conversely, such low use can also indicate long periods of storage, during which seals, rubber hoses and battery health can deteriorate silently. The mileage signal is therefore ambiguous and should not be taken as a guarantee of low wear. Given the clean MOT and low mileage, the risk of major safety‑related faults is not evident, but a buyer should still inspect for the typical signs of age and possible under‑use: - Check the condition of the tyres for dry rot, flat‑spotting or uneven wear. - Examine the brakes for rusted discs, worn pads or seized calipers. - Look for any corrosion or leaks around the engine bay, especially hoses, coolant lines and the exhaust system. - Test the battery’s charge and inspect for swollen cells.
