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 13 September 2024; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It failed its MOT on 1 September 2023 (nearside windscreen washer not working; offside headlamp not working on main beam; nearside track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt; and 2 more) and passed 13 days later, on 14 September 2023.

Advisories at the latest test: offside front upper suspension arm ball joint has slight play; oil leak, but not excessive.

Mileage at that test: 17,862 miles, which matches the advertised 17,950 miles.
