Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 5 November 2026: valid until 4 May 2027.

It failed its MOT on 27 April 2026 (exhaust emissions exceed default limit of 1.5m-1; offside front headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect; nearside rear brake disc significantly and obviously worn; and 6 more) and passed 8 days later, on 5 May 2026.

There were no advisories at the latest test.

Mileage at that test: 135,826 miles. The advert says 130,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
