MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Hyundai Accent (P693 PTU) between July 2006 and September 2020.

The record contains 15 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 12 September 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (10 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Steering (3 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 8 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 front brake binding (3.7.B.1)”; “Offside Front Braking system leaking (3.6.A.1)”; “Nearside Front Front constant velocity joint gaiter insecure to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dir”.
