Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 6 November 2026: valid until 6 September 2027.

It failed its MOT on 24 August 2026 (nearside front tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure; offside front tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure; offside rear tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure; and 1 more) and passed later the same day.

Advisories at the latest test: central rear registration plate deteriorated but not likely to be misread.

Mileage at that test: 13,045 miles. The advert says 8,563 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
