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 2003 Renault Clio (LX53 UAR) between October 2006 and May 2017.

The record contains 11 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 05 May 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (17 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Suspension (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 20 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 coil spring broken (2.4.C.1a)”; “Rear Registration plate lamp not working (1.1.C.1d)”; “Windscreen has a sticker or other obstruction encroaching by more than 10mm within zone 'A' (8.3.1b)”.
