MOT Analysis

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

7 MOT tests are recorded for this 1980 Land Rover 109 (KNN 559V) between September 2016 and July 2021.

The record contains 4 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 30 July 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (25 issues), Lighting (19 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (13 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Steering (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 74 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: “Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps (4.7.1 (b) (ii))”; “All direction indicators not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”; “Brake pedal creeps down while the pedal is held under pressure (3.3.B.1a)”.
