MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Rover Metro (M953 EFH) between September 2005 and December 2013.

The record contains 9 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 06 December 2013 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (17 issues), Bodywork (14 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (12 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Suspension (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 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: “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Offside Outer Subframe mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”; “Nearside Outer Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”.
