Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 4 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 9 December 2025; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It failed its MOT on 10 December 2024 (offside front driver's seat fore and aft adjustment mechanism not functioning as intended) and passed later the same day.

Advisories at the latest test: offside front anti-roll bar pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement; offside rear tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge; nearside rear tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing; and 1 more.

Mileage at that test: 164,382 miles. The advert says 163,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.
