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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Kia Sedona (HG53 VZR) between January 2007 and February 2018.

The record contains 12 passes and 9 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (22 issues), Lighting (17 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Lower Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.2.6)”; “Nearside Front Lower Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.2.6)”; “Offside Outer Front constant velocity joint gaiter damaged to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”.
