2010 Lotus Europa 2.0L Petrol · AU10 AEN

The 2025-04-01 MOT at 17,585 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and a stable maintenance trend. The mileage of 17,585 miles at 16 years averages 1,099 miles per year, indicating light use or extended periods of inactivity. From the 2018-06-29 record at 11,376 miles to the 2025-04-01 test, the odometer rose by 6,209 miles over seven years, a gradual increase without sudden jumps. The only recorded failure was the 2018-06-29 tyre tread depth deficiency below 1.6 mm, suggesting past tyre wear concerns, while all subsequent tests show no mechanical advisories. A buyer should therefore inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and calipers for binding or excessive wear, examine the chassis for structural rust or corrosion, and verify exhaust emission compliance. Given the low annual mileage, consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades may show minimal degradation, but the long intervals between tests warrant a thorough check of the braking system for any latent binding, the suspension for play, and the structural integrity of the wheel arches and underbody.
