How many Lotus Evoras are left in Great Britain?

There were 627 Lotus Evoras licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 269 declared off the road (SORN). That is 10.3% fewer than the peak of 699 in 2019.

Lotus Evora MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Lotus Evoras 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 Evora engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 599 Lotus Evoras licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 100.0% have an engine of 3,401cc to 3,500cc.

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 Evora fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Lotus Evora from 2011, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2019 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 25.7 to 26.6 mpg, with CO2 of 239 to 249 g/km.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model name “Evora”. How we use VCA’s figures.

All 4 Lotus Evora recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Lotus Evora. 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.
