Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 5 November 2026: valid until 6 October 2027.

It failed its MOT on 7 October 2026 (offside rear coil spring fractured or broken; nearside front track rod end ball joint has excessive play; offside front drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt) and passed later the same day.
