TFX 3 MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The record contains 17 passes and 6 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (19 issues), Lighting (18 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Steering (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 37 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: “Front Registration plate insecure NOT FITTED (0.1 (a))”; “Registration plate inscription illegible BARS IN WAY (0.1 (b))”; “Steering linkage ball joint has excessive play Drop arm (2.1.3 (b) (i))”.
