Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 6 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 23 January 2023; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It failed its MOT on 24 January 2022 (offside front windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively) and passed later the same day.

Advisories at the latest test: front registration plate deteriorated but not likely to be misread; integral body structure is corroded but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced under side of car; nearside outer integral body structure is corroded but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced sill; and 19 more.

Mileage at that test: 90,272 miles. The advert says 89,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
