It failed its MOT on 8 October 2025 (front exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases; front fuel system component leaking injectors; nearside rear tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords; and 2 more) and passed later the same day.

Advisories at the latest test: front oil leak, but not excessive; offside rear shock absorbers has light misting of oil; windscreen damaged but not adversely affecting driver's view.

Mileage at that test: 87,185 miles, which matches the advertised 89,596 miles.
