It went through an MOT in July with mileage "unreadable"

That's just what comes up with the covid extension, I doubt it ever went into a test centre.

Is it? My wife's car is almost at the end of the 6 month extension and there is nothing on the site to indicate that - just that the last MOT was in April 2019.

I imagine you are right though, and it is just DVLA systems.

It only comes up as mileage unreadable if it’s an extension in place of the first MoT.

Assuming it only worked 6 days a week, it's still 750 miles a day so surely it just have been double driven to Poland and back each week or similar.

They're about the biggest loadspace you can get in a 3500kg van, thus swerving tachograph and CPC. I think that's pretty much exactly what it will have been doing its entire life with a crew of two who ignore driving hours and working time directive and just swap every so often for a rest

I know they are popular with the inter-continental lot but Im suprised it's a UK reg and not polish or Bulgarian.

How comes I see quite a few of these small box type vans with polish registrations driving to and fro from Dover, always in a convoy of around 3-4 vans, surely it would be cheaper to stick the whole load into a artic so one driver one lorry one ferry ticket etc..

Lorry = license, tacho, working time directives, border checks

Can = do what you please

Cool car to do another 200,000 miles in. I wonder what a full inspection would show.

Not done many miles since 2015 going by the MOT history

Not spectacular annual mileage but it looks to be in incredible condition after 12 years and 200000 miles of use, no wonder people get away with clocking.

The MOT history tells quite a story.

[Mr Tom]

Just over 10k a year but at 36 years old a high miler... especially for a Porsche.

Those seats are £300 a pair.

I reckon it would make a cracking trackday car.

I’m impressed that mini did a year’s driving with the blue smoke advisory. Assuming the valve stem seals had gone... They must’ve at least checked the oil occasionally!

We should have a competition - find the car which has passed an MOT with the most advisories!
