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 11 September 2026; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It failed its MOT on 11 September 2025 (nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt upper dust cover split) and passed 1 day later, on 12 September 2025.

Advisories at the latest test: offside front tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge 2.5mm & worn inner edge; offside rear tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge 3mm.

Mileage at that test: 97,553 miles. The advert says 97,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
