Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 4 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 15 October 2026; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It failed its MOT on 29 September 2025 (nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt; exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases) and passed later the same day.

Advisories at the latest test: front brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened; front brake pad(s) wearing thin; oil leak on rear dif.

Mileage at that test: 118,094 miles, which matches the advertised 120,000 miles.
