MOT Analysis

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

The record contains 6 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 06 February 2014 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (13 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Windscreen (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
