2015 Lotus Evora 3.5L Petrol · RX65 AAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent test history indicates a decline in basic maintenance standards. While the car passed its MOT in March 2026 at 35,484 miles, it followed a failure just two days prior at 35,482 miles. This failure revealed a supplementary restraint system fault and an inoperative windscreen washer, alongside significant tyre issues, suggesting a lack of pre-inspection preparation by the most recent owner. The mileage profile shows consistently low usage for an eleven-year-old sports car, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. Between October 2022 and February 2024, the vehicle covered 3,401 miles, while it added another 3,032 miles between February 2024 and March 2025. This low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age, which is evident in the condition issues noted during the latest test. A buyer must inspect the tyre condition thoroughly, as the 2026 record flagged cracking on all four edges and the nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit. This cracking often indicates dry rot from long periods of standing rather than tread-related wear. The SRS warning lamp must be verified as cleared to ensure the airbag system has been properly rectified. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, a physical inspection of the perished suspension bushes and brake fluid age is essential, as these components can fail over time regardless of the distance driven.
