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 1986 Ford Escort (D244 SVW) between February 2006 and April 2015.

The record contains 10 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 08 April 2015 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: Suspension (20 issues), Lighting (17 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Bodywork (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 23 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 Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Offside Front Front wheel bearing rough when rotated (2.5.A.2)”; “Offside Headlamp aim too low (1.8)”.
