MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Toyota Hiace (N397 CKY) between March 2006 and March 2024.

The record contains 19 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 23 March 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (9 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 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 fog lamp lens defective such that emitted light is adversely affected (4.5.1 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Rear fog lamp does not emit a steady red light (4.5.4 (a))”; “Offside Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”.
