2015 Lotus Elise 1.8L Petrol · ANP 2M

Based on the MOT history, this 2015 Lotus Elise presents a largely positive picture, with the most recent test on 26 September 2025 resulting in a clean pass and no recorded defects at 33,703 miles. The vehicle has covered approximately 3,000 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for a car of this age. This suggests the vehicle has been used lightly or potentially stored for long periods, rather than serving as a daily commuter. The overall condition trend appears to be improving. The history shows a clear progression from mechanical failures in 2022 to minor advisories in subsequent years, and finally to a clean bill of health in 2025. In September 2022, the car initially failed its MOT due to a non-functioning windscreen washer and rear tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edges. These issues were rectified immediately, allowing a pass later the same day. The recurring advisory regarding the front inner brake pads wearing thin is the most significant mechanical pattern in the records. This was noted in September 2023 on both sides and again in September 2024 on the inner pads. The absence of this advisory in the 2025 test strongly suggests the brake pads have been replaced in the interim.
