MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Subaru Impreza (BV53 ZKY) between December 2006 and April 2021.

The record contains 14 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 16 April 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (14 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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: “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”; “Nearside Front position lamp(s) excessively deteriorated so that it is not visible from a reasonable distance bulb dim (”.
