MOT Analysis

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

7 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Nissan Almera (P503 BWL) between January 2006 and March 2010.

The record contains 5 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 16 March 2010 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 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: “Nearside Front Headlamp aim too low (1.8)”; “Nearside Front Front position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)”; “Offside Front Front wheel bearing has excessive play (2.5.A.3c)”.
