2006 Lotus Elise 1.8L Petrol · OO06 AMB

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-27 confirmed the 2006 Lotus Elise passed with 48,327 miles recorded. No defects were noted, aligning with all prior MOT results from 2022 to 2026, which also showed passing grades and no recorded issues. This consistent history suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance with safety standards over the past four years. The mileage of 48,327 miles for a 20-year-old vehicle is exceptionally low, averaging just 2,416 miles annually. This could indicate light usage, infrequent driving, or extended periods of inactivity. While lower mileage often correlates with reduced wear on components like brakes and suspension, it may also signal risks associated with under-use, such as degraded fluids, battery issues, or rubber component aging. However, the absence of defects in the MOT records does not confirm these concerns. The vehicle’s MOT history shows no evidence of worsening conditions. All tests were passed without noted faults, suggesting a stable mechanical state over the past four years. There is no indication of recurring issues or increasing repair needs.
