Used Lotus Key Risk Statistics (2024–2025)

Key Risk Impact on Buyers Mitigation Steps
Theft Risk Lotus cars are 2.7× more likely to be targeted for theft. It's due to rarity and resale value. Match the sequence on the title, chassis, and windshield. Use EpicVIN or NICB to detect clones.
Unrepaired Safety Recalls 13.5% of Lotus vehicles in the U.S. have at least one unresolved NHTSA recall. Check the NHTSA website using the VIN. See the recall status before signing any paperwork.
Depreciation Over Time Lotus models lose 37% of their value within 5 years. It's faster than most luxury brands. Use VIN tools like EpicVIN to verify trim level and factory options that affect resale.
Odometer Rollback Fraud 8.9% of pre-owned Lotus cars show mileage inconsistencies. It's often due to salvage rebuilds. Use NMVTIS-linked services, e.g., EpicVIN. Trace mileage changes over time.
Hidden Flood or Salvage History 15.3% of Lotus cars listed in 2024 had prior flood or total loss titles. Cross-check VIN in state title records and NMVTIS. Avoid unseen damage.

Minimize risks: Check the car's VIN. Use official databases, e.g., NMVTIS. Highlight hidden damage, rolled-back mileage, or undervalued pricing. Compare auction photos and carefully study repair reports.
