2026 Lotus Eletre GT 3.0L Electric · DH08 TAM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred consumable repairs. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 80,908 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories regarding all four brake discs and rear tyres. This represents a progression from the 2024 test, which only flagged thin rear brake pads, suggesting that the owner is now only addressing components once they approach the failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in the records between July 2021 and June 2023, during which the car covered over 25,000 miles. Since 2023, the usage rate has accelerated, with nearly 25,000 miles added in two years. This increase in annual mileage correlates with the appearance of recurring wear issues on the braking system and tyres noted in the later 2024 and 2025 inspections. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and rear suspension geometry. The 2025 test specifically noted pitting and scoring on the front discs and uneven wear on the rear tyres, which often indicates sticking calipers or misaligned suspension components. The recurring mention of edge-worn rear tyres across both 2024 and 2025 suggests that a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes remain unaddressed. Additionally, the age of the vehicle and the recent history of worn discs necessitate a check for underbody corrosion to ensure that the lack of proactive maintenance has not led to structural thinning.
