MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Kia Sedona (DY52 RTZ) between September 2005 and December 2015.

The record contains 11 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 16 December 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (11 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Steering (4 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Bodywork (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 16 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: “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Offside Front Tie bar/rod insecure (2.4.G.1)”; “Offside Front constant velocity joint gaiter deteriorated to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt e”.
