2013 Lotus Evora 2 V6 3.5L Petrol · DG13 MOU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a developing issue with suspension component wear. The most recent test in September 2025 at 40,001 miles flagged an advisory for slight play in the nearside rear anti-roll bar ball joint. This follows a similar advisory from August 2024 at 38,620 miles regarding the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint. While the vehicle has managed to pass without failure, the emergence of these recurring faults indicates that the suspension hardware is beginning to age beyond its optimal condition. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,077 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2023, the car covered 5,331 miles with a perfectly clean record and no recorded defects. The interval between 2023 and 2025 saw an additional 2,834 miles. This low usage suggests the car has been stored periodically, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and drying of seals, potentially correlating with the play found in the ball joints. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focused on the front and rear suspension assembly. The recurring mentions of anti-roll bar ball joints suggest that a thorough check of all link arms, bushings, and drops is necessary to prevent future failure. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as these frequently affect vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. The structural integrity appears sound based on the history, as no corrosion-related advisories have been noted over the last five years of testing.
