MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Renault Trafic (N485 BNC) between November 2024 and August 2026.

The record contains 2 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 14 August 2026 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: Suspension (12 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Bodywork (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 28 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: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Bumper damaged and likely to cause injury when grazed or contacted (6.1.4 (a) (i))”; “Spare wheel carrier insecure (6.1.5 (a))”.
