2009 Lotus Elise 1.8L Petrol · EL07 USL

The 2009 Lotus Elise has a consistently clean MOT history, with all recorded tests from 2022 to 2026 showing no defects. The most recent MOT on 2026-02-24 confirmed the vehicle passed with 59,286 miles, matching the current recorded mileage. This suggests the car has maintained compliance with safety standards over the past four years. The MOT records show no recurring mechanical issues or escalating defects. Each test, including the 2025-03-06 and 2024-01-24 entries, similarly reported no faults. This pattern indicates a stable condition, with no evidence of worsening performance or hidden problems. The absence of "advisories" or "defects" in any test reinforces this conclusion. The vehicle’s mileage of 59,286 miles for a 17-year-old car is unusually low, averaging 3,487 miles annually. This could reflect light use, infrequent driving, or periods of storage. While lower mileage often correlates with reduced wear on components like brakes and suspension, it may also signal potential issues from prolonged inactivity, such as degraded fluids or battery health.
