Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 7 November 2026: valid until 26 October 2027.

It failed its MOT on 7 October 2026 (offside headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect; offside rear coil spring fractured or broken; nearside rear tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords; and 3 more) and passed 20 days later, on 27 October 2026.

There were no advisories at the latest test.

Mileage at that test: 87,255 miles. The advert says 83,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 7,000 miles higher than the median mileage of a 2008 Vauxhall Corsa on AskCar.
