MOT Analysis

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

6 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Ford Mondeo (R116 LNN) between November 2005 and November 2008.

The record contains 4 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 20 November 2008 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (4 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Brakes (3 issues). 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: “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Nearside rear parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”.
