Note
It has recently come to my attention of a hiccup in an MOT mileage
In November 2012 MOT recorded 15910
In January 2014 ( a very late 2013 mot) recorded 173342
In December 2014 MOT recorded 19388
A difference of 157 thousand miles between MOT’s
For a car normally covering one or two thousand a year this makes no sense, what must have happened is the test centre added an extra number on the endI love the quality of top down motoring as you waft along in almost silence and one of the few cars with no wind side buffeting with the windows down.
I love the fact that it can be left for months but still works perfectly when you get a nice sunny day
