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 2003 Honda Civic (NV53 NVA) between October 2006 and May 2019.

The record contains 13 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 01 May 2019 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 (9 issues), Bodywork (7 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (4.1.D.1b)”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (4.1.D.1b)”.
