MOT Analysis

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

13 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Toyota Hilux (P987 TUY) between February 2006 and September 2012.

The record contains 7 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 21 September 2012 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: Lighting (11 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 4 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 Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”; “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Offside rear parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)”.
