MOT Analysis

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

9 MOT tests are recorded for this 1984 Rover 213 (B79 VFB) between July 2006 and August 2010.

The record contains 5 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 17 August 2010 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (14 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Steering (5 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 15 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 Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”; “Nearside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”.
