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 1998 Rolls Royce Silver Seraph (J23 TEA) between May 2006 and February 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 25 February 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (20 issues), Suspension (19 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 29 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: “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”.
