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 22 November 2024; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It has had 15 MOTs. The latest, on 4 December 2024, failed.

It failed on: exhaust lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits; exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits; exhaust hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits; and 3 more.

Advisories at the latest test: nearside registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources.

Mileage at that test: 81,356 miles. The advert says 79,500 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
