MOT Analysis

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

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Honda Civic (N51 MMR) between September 2006 and July 2013.

The record contains 7 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 18 July 2013 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: Lighting (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (9 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Steering (5 issues), Brakes (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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: “Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)”; “Nearside Inner Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.2.B.1f)”; “Supplementary Restraint System warning lamp indicates a fault (5.4.2)”.
