Advisories at the latest test: front exhaust has a minor leak of exhaust gases; front brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened nearside and offside; front registration plate deteriorated but not likely to be misread.

Mileage at that test: 68,641 miles. The advert says 68,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
