MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Toyota Starlet (P731 DRX) between October 2006 and April 2016.

The record contains 9 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 28 April 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Windscreen (8 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)”; “Nearside Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”; “Offside Front coil spring broken (2.4.C.1a)”.
