How many Lotus Eclats are left in Great Britain?

There were 331 Lotus Eclats licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 765 declared off the road (SORN). That is 76.2% fewer than the 1,391 licensed in 1994, when this data begins.

Lotus Eclat MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Lotus Eclats in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Lotus Eclat engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 339 Lotus Eclats licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 79.1% have an engine of 2,101cc to 2,200cc, and 18.6% have an engine of 1,901cc to 2,000cc. The share with an engine of 2,101cc to 2,200cc has fallen from 89.6% in 2014 to 79.1%.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

Lotus Eclat safety recalls

We found no recalls for the Lotus Eclat in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Lotus Eclat. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
