Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 6 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 20 March 2026; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It failed its MOT on 21 March 2025 (battery insecure but not likely to fall from carrier; nearside side repeater not working; nearside side repeater with a multiple light source up to 1/2 not functioning) and passed later the same day.

Advisories at the latest test: front tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing both; offside rear tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing; front registration plate deteriorated but not likely to be misread; and 4 more.

Mileage at that test: 138,626 miles. The advert says 138,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 43,000 miles higher than the median mileage of a 2005 Volkswagen Golf on AskCar.
