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

It has had 16 MOTs. The latest, on 21 September 2026, failed.

It failed on: nearside front suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength axle mount; offside rear suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength axle mount; offside seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced sill to floor and outer sill area; and 1 more.

Advisories at the latest test: nearside rear registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources; front sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened.

Mileage at that test: 119,576 miles. The advert says 119,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
