MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Toyota Avensis (LR53 UCG) between September 2006 and June 2016.

The record contains 11 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 25 June 2016 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: Tyres (12 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 11 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: “Offside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (4.1.D.1a)”; “Nearside Rear Tyre not fitted in accordance with side wall instructions (4.1.D.1f)”; “Centre Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”.
