MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 Toyota Carina (N537 HCL) between January 2006 and January 2020.

The record contains 15 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 09 January 2020 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 (11 issues), Windscreen (10 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 30 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 Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”.
