Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 4 November 2026: valid until 4 November 2026.

It failed its MOT on 5 November 2025 (exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits; exhaust lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits) and passed later the same day.

Advisories at the latest test: oil leak on engine; heavy corrosion on underside.

Mileage at that test: 48,582 miles. The advert says 48,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
