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 20 August 2026; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It failed its MOT on 20 August 2025 (offside registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources; parking brake efficiency below requirements) and passed 1 day later, on 21 August 2025.

Advisories at the latest test: offside registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources; nearside front service brake binding but not excessively; service brake requirements only just met. it would appear that the braking system requires adjustment or repair hand brake.

Mileage at that test: 96,037 miles, which matches the advertised 95,839 miles.
