MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 1991 Toyota Soarer (J557 EWT) between December 2005 and October 2017.

The record contains 13 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (7 issues), Steering (5 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Bodywork (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Rear fog lamp not working (1.3.2b)”; “Front Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (8.2.3)”; “Nearside Rear Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”.
