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 9 January 2024; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It has had 25 MOTs. The latest, on 18 April 2024, failed.

It failed on: offside front vehicle structure or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of a body mounting; offside front suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength.

Advisories at the latest test: oil leak, but not excessive; offside rear shock absorbers has light misting of oil; coil springs corroded; and 3 more.

Mileage at that test: 144,352 miles. The advert says 140,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
