Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 2 November 2026: valid until 25 June 2027.

It failed its MOT on 11 June 2026 (nearside front headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect; nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt) and passed later the same day.
