Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 2 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 5 October 2024; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It has had 24 MOTs. The latest, on 12 September 2024, failed.

It failed on: supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault; nearside front track rod end ball joint has excessive play; nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn.

Advisories at the latest test: rear brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material.

Mileage at that test: 193,719 miles. The advert says 193,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
