MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 1989 Talbot Express (F153 EAH) between October 2006 and December 2022.

The record contains 14 passes and 14 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (40 issues), Suspension (34 issues), Lighting (24 issues), Bodywork (13 issues), Tyres (10 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Integral body structure has excessive corrosion which adversely affects braking or steering OUT RIGGER / S”; “Nearside Front Integral body structure has excessive corrosion which adversely affects braking or steering OUT RIGGER / ”.
