As above, I am looking to buy a car and the MOT isn't there for one year
2013 MOT 32k miles
2014 NO MOT
2015 MOT 62k miles
2016 MOT 76k miles
2017 MOT 82k miles
2018 MOT due July

Should i be concerned?

Thanks

By the looks of it if it’s a 2013 it wasn’t due its 1st mot till 2016 but for some reason it was mot’d in 2013 so once it’s been mot’d it needs one every year,,it could be that the owner didn’t know it had been mot’d so just assumed it doesn’t need one till it’s 3 years old,,,,,if that lot makes sense to you

Apologies, that car is a 2010 so first MOT is 2013.
The owner has had he car two years and doesn’t know why there is a gap 2006 RRS Supercharged 4.2 HST muthuaflecka!

Could have been parked up or owner just forgot to mot it,,I have them coming in nearly every day & mot has ran out last year.

the previous owners name will be on the V5 that the current owner has so ask him to try and find out if you are that worried i doubt there is any thing to worry about to be honest but if it makes you feel better about the deal

You have looked on the online mot system have you?

YES 2006 RRS Supercharged 4.2 HST muthuaflecka!

So it missed an MOT 4/5 years ago what does it matter it’s passed 3/4 since then, any advisories on the last one ? To me that’s the only one that matters !
Is the service Record complete that matters more 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current
2009 TDCi 90 current
2018 Discovery 5 HSE lux current
1994 Dakar current

Could be the electronic system wasn’t filled out correctly. I’m missing the online 2016 MOT however I have a receipt for it being carried out at the same time as the service. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)
2012 5.0 SC AB. Sadly written off by a campervan
23 plate Focus ST (Current)
1942 VEP Ford GPW Jeep (Willys) (Current)
1943 Whites M16 Halftrack (Current)
16 plate Eurofighter Typhoon, 2 x Eurojet engines with 20,000lbs thrust each. 1380mph

Why would it be of a concern, its passed every one since then. I would only be concerned if it missed the one that is current just now. It has done 30k between the two years 2013 to 2015, so its not as though they were trying to wind back the mileage or anything else. Does it have a service done in 2014, that would give you the mileage. That can be checked online or by the dealer

Check the service history, was it serviced that year?

It’s not unusual for people to forget to not their car, but unfortunately they often also forget to service it.

Long process but they managed to finally send me all the service details which are all spot on.
Happy days, pick the car up on Wednesday 2006 RRS Supercharged 4.2 HST muthuaflecka!
