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 Toyota Hilux (N94 SMX) between November 2006 and January 2013.

The record contains 7 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 22 January 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: Brakes (9 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Steering (5 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 6 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: “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.C.1b)”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”; “Offside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”.
