2021 Lotus Exige 3.5L Petrol · R29 PLB

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 30 May 2025 resulted in a pass at 3,112 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue before the final pass was issued. The mileage is exceptionally low for a five year old car, averaging roughly 622 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 2,387 miles and the May 2025 test at 3,112 miles, the car covered only 725 miles. This pattern indicates the vehicle is used sparingly and likely spends significant periods in stationary storage. A buyer should focus on components affected by low usage and long-term standing rather than wear and tear. Check for brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, as inactive braking systems in low-mileage cars often seize. Inspect the tyres for flat spots or age-related cracking, even if the tread depth remains high. Verify the condition of the battery and all fluid levels to ensure the car has not suffered from neglect during its periods of inactivity. Since the MOT history is clean and lacks any mention of suspension bushes or structural corrosion, the primary risk is mechanical stagnation rather than active deterioration.
