LOTUS ELISE2015 · 1.8L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 40,113 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories, indicating a stable mechanical and structural condition. This lack of failures suggests the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle and addressed the common mechanical issues typically seen in sports cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,647 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered only 15,190 miles, with the most significant interval being 5,136 miles recorded between the 2024 test at 34,977 miles and the 2025 test. While mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid breakdown if the car sits stationary for extended periods. Despite the lack of recorded faults, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to time- rather than just mileage. A buyer should specifically check for cracking in rubber suspension bushes, perished sidewalls, and signs of brake caliper corrosion which can develop during low use. Given the low mileage, verifying the age of the brake fluid and checking for surface rust on the chassis is essential to ensure the vehicle remains as sound as the digital record suggests.
