MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Toyota Hilux (BU52 YOW) between September 2005 and April 2016.

The record contains 11 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
