2013 Lotus Exige 3.5L Petrol · SN13 CXE

This Lotus Exige presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 8 October 2025 at 49,065 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and kept in a state of immediate compliance. The mileage pattern is low for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,774 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with 4,312 miles added between October 2021 and October 2022, and a more modest 1,615 miles added between October 2023 and October 2024. This suggests the car is used sparingly but regularly, avoiding the risks associated with long-term stagnation. The absence of any advisories or failures since 2021 is rare for a vehicle of this age. The tester flagged no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across the entire five year window. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or deteriorating rubber components in the official record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that MOT tests often overlook. Check for perished tyre sidewalls and the condition of the brake fluid, as low-mileage cars often require fluid changes based on time rather than wear. Verify the health of the battery and check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine seals that may not have triggered a failure during the brief MOT inspections.
