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 1997 Suzuki Unknown (P826 BEL) between February 2006 and October 2021.

The record contains 11 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 20 October 2021 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: Lighting (14 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 19 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: “Inner Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.2.A1f(i))”; “Exhaust excessively deteriorated (7.1.1a)”; “Headlamp aim beam image kick up to the offside (1.6)”.
