2006 Lotus Elise 1.8L Petrol · EU06 AYA

The 2006 Lotus Elise has a clean MOT history, with all recorded tests passing without defects. The most recent MOT on 2026-05-15 (7,043 miles) confirmed no issues, and prior tests from 2025, 2021, 2019, and 2018 also showed no defects. This consistent record suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained and shows no immediate safety or repair risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 7,043 miles over 20 years equates to roughly 352 miles per year, which is exceptionally low. This could indicate light usage, long periods of inactivity, or minimal driving. While low mileage often correlates with less wear on components like brakes and suspension, it may also signal potential issues from under-use, such as degraded fluids, battery drain, or rubber component aging. The MOT trend is stable, with no recurring faults or worsening conditions. The lack of defects in all tests suggests the car’s mechanical systems have remained functional and compliant. However, the low mileage means the vehicle’s true condition is harder to assess through usage alone. A buyer should look beyond the MOT history for signs of long-term storage or infrequent use.
