MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Toyota Hilux (N841 AVU) between January 2006 and March 2013.

The record contains 8 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 07 March 2013 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (33 issues), Lighting (20 issues), Suspension (19 issues), Windscreen (12 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 39 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 Ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.2.C.1c)”; “Offside Rear Stop lamp remains on when the brakes are released (1.2.1e)”; “Nearside Rear Stop lamp remains on when the brakes are released (1.2.1e)”.
