Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 4 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 21 October 2026; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It failed its MOT on 1 October 2025 (nearside front lower suspension arm corroded and seriously weakened; offside front steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt insecure; nearside front steering locking device missing track rod end castle nut retaining pin) and passed 2 days later, on 3 October 2025.

Advisories at the latest test: nearside front tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge worn unevenly on edges; offside front tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge worn unevenly on edges; nearside rear tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge worn unevenly on edges.

Mileage at that test: 197,869 miles, which matches the advertised 200,000 miles.
