How to check for abuse during break-in period

[ltullos]

I'm considering purchasing a 2025 Base MT Emira with 600 miles. The original buyer purchased the car in April 2025 and traded it in on a McLaren 2-3 months later because "he was disappointed with the lack of power and performance" and "preferred McLaren 8 sp AT". The car appears to be flawless; but I'm concerned that the previous purchaser may have abused the car during the break-in period. Current McLaren dealer seems to be fully cooperative with my request to have the Lotus dealer for PPI for me (if they will do so); but before I order it (which I will pay for), I would like to know what data is stored in the ECU that might indicate abuse such as max RPM and speed, temperatures, etc. I'd be very naive to think it wasn't pushed to the max in this period; and just want to be confident that problems won't show up later as a result of his abuse.

An ECU readout will give you all that you listed and more I believe. Lotus dealer can provide this, ask for a hard copy as I did at my 1000 mile manufacturer requested oil change- confirms parameters were not violated during breakin mileage period…….
I would agree, if the original owner disappointed at “power and performance” then he could only have exceeded breakin parameters; clear evidence to Lotus for limiting warranty requests i would think. I would not purchase a used car under this history

I contacted the dealer who originally sold and serviced this vehicle (oil change + warranty service) and the service manager told me that they are unable to read anything in ECU logs that would be indicative of abuse. This seems suspect to me because how else would they be able to violate warranty?
I'm also going to check with my local Lotus dealer; but if anyone here has definitive info about what parameters I specifically should request, I would immensely appreciate the assist.
