2022 Lotus Elise 1.8L Petrol · SF71 AVO

The Lotus Elise shows a fully roadworthy status based on official records. In the most recent examination on 10 July 2025 at 1,895 miles, the tester passed the vehicle with no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend is stable, as the prior test on 12 July 2024 at 1,579 miles also recorded a clean pass. No worsening or resolving fault patterns emerge across the two entries. Mileage accumulation relative to the 2022 build date remains exceptionally low. The odometer read 1,895 miles at the 2025 test, reflecting roughly 474 miles per year over four years. Between July 2024 and July 2025 the car covered just 316 miles. The sparse yet clean dataset indicates prolonged storage rather than active use, with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps beyond the standard annual cycle. The history flags no recurring suspension, brake, or structural defects for this Elise. Despite the spotless MOT trail, a buyer should physically verify components prone to deterioration through inactivity. Inspect suspension bushes for age cracking, check brake calipers for binding after standing, and assess chassis structural integrity for any incipient corrosion. Tyres may exhibit sidewall perishing despite full tread depth. Both tests returning zero advisories implies the previous keeper either upheld meticulous upkeep or limited the car to dry static storage. A purchaser must still validate elapsed-time consumables such as brake fluid condition and tyre manufacture dates, since low mileage does not arrest rubber ageing.
