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 27 January 2026; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It failed its MOT on 23 December 2024 (nearside front vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced inner sill jacking point; offside front vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced inner sill jacking point; nearside seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced inner sill; and 3 more) and passed 36 days later, on 28 January 2025.

Advisories at the latest test: track rod end ball joint dust cover damaged or deteriorated, but preventing the ingress of dirt n/s o/s; front brake hose slightly deteriorated n/s o/s; offside front tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing; and 4 more.

Mileage at that test: 86,477 miles. The advert says 82,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
