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 6 July 2023; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It failed its MOT on 6 July 2022 (windscreen washer not working; offside headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect; engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction) and passed 1 day later, on 7 July 2022.

Advisories at the latest test: offside front tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge; nearside rear shock absorbers has light misting of oil.

Mileage at that test: 99,338 miles. The advert says 10,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
