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 10 July 2026; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It has had 24 MOTs. The latest, on 15 July 2026, failed.

It failed on: parking brake lever has excessive movement indicating incorrect adjustment; nearside rear outer integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced sill; front sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened; and 8 more.

Advisories at the latest test: nearside front tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge; brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material all metal pipes; rear suspension component corroded but not seriously weakened axle; and 3 more.

Mileage at that test: 55,899 miles. The advert says 55,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
