MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 Ford S-Max (GN56 UHC) between February 2010 and February 2021.

The record contains 12 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 01 February 2021 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 (16 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 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 Upper Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Front Windscreen washer not working Both N/S and O/S (3.5 (a))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”.
