MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 2 November 2026: valid until 13 October 2027.

Advisories at the latest test: rear sub-frame is corroded but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced; rear suspension system corroded but not excessively; rear brakes slightly binding.

Mileage at that test: 77,637 miles. The advert says 77,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
