Recently when checking the MOT on my car using the Check the MOT history of a vehicle GOV.UK service I discovered that the entire car’s mileage history is recorded. This made me quite interested in my Toyota Celica 2002 mileage over the years. I first got it in 2004 when it was 2 years old, and the first MOT was in 2005. However it seems the service history starts in 2007, which, if I recall, was when MOT became a lot more electronic.
Here is the mileage data; I calculated the miles since the last MOT column myself. The average annual mileage is 9525.
