Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 2 November 2026: valid until 16 December 2026.

It failed its MOT on 21 October 2025 (exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits; offside front headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect; nearside front headlamp lens slightly defective; and 1 more) and passed 57 days later, on 17 December 2025.

Advisories at the latest test: exhaust emits blue smoke during acceleration.

Mileage at that test: 80,911 miles. The advert says 80,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
