Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 5 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 29 October 2025; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It has had 15 MOTs. The latest, on 5 February 2026, failed.

It failed on: nearside front brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick lining has come off; offside front brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick lining has come off.

Advisories at the latest test: nearside front suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement; nearside rear coil spring corroded; offside rear coil spring corroded; and 4 more.

Mileage at that test: 131,823 miles. The advert says 131,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
