AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

# MOT Verdict: 2009 Lotus Elise This Elise passed its most recent MOT on 11 May 2026 with no defects recorded at 39,744 miles. The vehicle has now completed five consecutive MOT passes over four years with a completely clean sheet. No advisories, wear items, or failed tests appear anywhere in this history. The mileage trend is exceptionally stable. The car has covered just 1,128 miles across the five recorded MOT cycles, averaging approximately 2,338 miles per year since new. This is very low use for a 17-year-old vehicle and suggests either light recreational driving or prolonged periods standing between uses. The gap between each MOT is roughly one year, and the mileage increments are consistent, indicating the recorded history is reliable and the vehicle has not been subjected to any hidden high-mileage or intensive driving periods. The condition trend is stable and reassuring. No defects have emerged across the four-year record, and no pattern of deterioration is evident. There are no signs of worsening brakes, suspension, emissions, or structural corrosion that might develop as an older car ages.
