MOT Analysis

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

11 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Ford Escort (P807 LVX) between January 2006 and June 2011.

The record contains 6 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 03 June 2011 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 (16 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 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: “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Offside Front Front constant velocity joint gaiter split (2.5.C.1a)”; “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”.
