Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 2 November 2026: valid until 7 September 2027.

It failed its MOT on 31 August 2026 (offside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt) and passed 1 day later, on 1 September 2026.

Advisories at the latest test: front exhaust mounting defective; central exhaust heat shield corroded and becoming insecure; nearside rear suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement; and 9 more.

Mileage at that test: 53,678 miles. The advert says 53,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
