MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 1972 Jaguar V12 (RDL 3) between December 2006 and May 2019.

The record contains 12 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 30 May 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (20 issues), Suspension (14 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 36 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Upper Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Fuel pipe leaking (7.2.3)”; “Nearside Front Lower Front suspension locking device missing (2.5.A.4)”.
