MOT Analysis

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

8 MOT tests are recorded for this 1954 Cadillac Unknown (SAZ 1) between January 2006 and February 2012.

The record contains 7 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 28 February 2012 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (3 issues), Bodywork (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 2 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: “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Rear Exhaust has part of the system excessively deteriorated (7.1.1a)”; “Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountings (6.1.B.2)”.
