Mileage and MOT
It has had 25 MOTs. The latest, on 15 December 2025, failed.
It failed on: engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction; central exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases; exhaust noise is clearly in excess of that emitted by a similar vehicle fitted with a standard silencer in average condition; and 6 more.
Advisories at the latest test: oil leak, but not excessive; nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint has slight play; rear sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened; and 2 more.
Mileage at that test: 147,629 miles. The advert says 147,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
