Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2013 model year cars.
- Clutch Master Cylinder FailureSerious
Like the Evora, the Exige V6 can suffer from a sticking clutch pedal due to heat-soak failing the internal seals.
- Suspension Joint & Toe Link WearSerious
Track use accelerates wear on ball joints and rear toe links. A nervous chassis ruins the Exige experience.
- Rear Upright CrackingSerious
The rear hub carriers/uprights on V6 Exiges have been known to crack, particularly on track-used cars. Lotus later redesigned the part with reinforced material. Failure can be catastrophic and life-threatening at speed.
