2013 Lotus Evora S 4 V6 3.5L Petrol · K900 STW

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT in September 2025, although this followed a failure in August 2025. While it is currently roadworthy, the history reveals a concerning increase in mechanical defects. There is a clear and recurring pattern of corrosion and suspension wear. The exhaust flexi section has been flagged as leaking since 2024 and was described as heavily corroded by late 2025. Similarly, suspension components have deteriorated steadily, moving from slight play in an anti-roll bar link in 2024 to multiple worn ball joints and rose joints in 2025. The overall condition trend is worsening. The 2023 inspection was completely clean, but subsequent years show a snowball effect of failures. The most recent entries highlight widespread corrosion across all coil springs and the front shock absorber casings, alongside pitted and scored brake discs. The mileage is low for a thirteen-year-old car, averaging under 5,000 miles per year. While this suggests limited drivetrain wear, the significant corrosion on the springs, shocks, and exhaust suggests the vehicle may have suffered from long periods of standing or exposure to damp conditions, which often accelerates surface rust and degrades rubber components.
