Odometer unit changed between MOTs
The MOT on 2019-06-11 recorded kilometres and the one on 2020-06-10 recorded miles. Converted to the same unit the readings still go up (41,042 then 41,410 miles), which usually means the speedometer was converted or the tester picked the other unit. Ask for any conversion paperwork.

- Sequential turbo hoses and valves that stop the second turbo coming in: has this been checked?
- Heavily modified cars are common: ask for paperwork on engine and fuel changes: has this been checked?
- Cracked dashboards and worn targa-roof seals: has this been checked?
