MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Ka (FY53 BPO) between September 2006 and August 2020.

The record contains 15 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 19 August 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (12 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Bodywork (11 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Suspension (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 18 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: “Offside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Nearside Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”.
