1972 Lotus Elan + 2S 130 1.6L Petrol · BSG 719L

This 1972 Lotus Elan is in exceptional MOT condition, with the most recent test on 1 April 2025 resulting in a clean pass with no defects. The vehicle's condition trend is improving and stable. While minor wear was noted on both front upper suspension arm pins and bushes in 2020, these issues did not recur in subsequent tests, suggesting they were either monitored or rectified. The recorded mileage of 53,165 is very low for a 54-year-old car, averaging under 1,000 miles per year. While this indicates light use, such low mileage often implies long periods of standing, which can lead to perished rubber components or seized parts. The MOT history is remarkably clean for a classic car, showing very few recorded faults over the last five years. A buyer should first inspect the rubber seals, hoses, and tyres for age-related cracking and check for any signs of corrosion or seizure resulting from periods of inactivity.
