2014 Lotus Elise 1.8L Petrol · YJ14 FOP

Based on the provided history, this Lotus Elise presents a very clean record with no mechanical defects recorded across the last five tests. The most recent MOT on 4 July 2025 was a pass with zero issues noted, meaning the vehicle is currently compliant with safety standards. However, you should be aware that this certificate is due for renewal in July 2026, so the car will require a fresh test shortly after purchase. The overall trend is stable, with no failed tests or advisories for wear on brakes, suspension, or corrosion. The only remark in the log is from April 2023, noting that items were removed from the driver's view prior to the test. This is a minor administrative observation and does not indicate a mechanical fault or safety risk. With roughly 10,427 miles over about 12 years, the vehicle averages only 869 miles per year. This exceptionally low mileage suggests the car has likely seen light use or extended periods in storage. While this reduces wear on moving parts like the engine and gearbox, it increases the risk of age-related deterioration on perishable materials such as rubber, hoses, and fluids that degrade over time regardless of distance driven. When inspecting the car, prioritize checking the condition of the tires for age-related cracking or dry rot, as they may be old despite having tread.
