MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Seat Ibiza (LM53 KUO) between November 2006 and June 2020.

The record contains 14 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 20 June 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (11 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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 Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (8.2.3)”; “Offside Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”.
