2018 Lotus Elise 1.8L Petrol · GH18 JOU

The most recent MOT on 15 May 2026 was passed with no defects recorded. This maintains a perfectly clean record, as every MOT test since 2022 has resulted in a pass with zero reported issues or advisories. The mechanical trend is exceptionally stable. There is no evidence of any recurring faults or a pattern of deteriorating condition; the vehicle has consistently met safety standards throughout its documented history. With only 6,511 miles recorded over eight years, the mileage is very low for the age of the vehicle, averaging approximately 814 miles per year. While this suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, brakes, and suspension components, such low usage can be ambiguous. It may indicate a well-preserved vehicle, but it also carries the risk of deterioration caused by long periods of standing. When inspecting the car, you should focus on signs of age-related degradation that occur even with low mileage. Prioritise checking the tyres for age-related cracking, inspecting rubber hoses and seals for perishing, and verifying that fluids and the battery have been maintained despite the infrequent driving.
