MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Ford Transit (R646 CBU) between October 2006 and November 2013.

The record contains 8 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 29 November 2013 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 (14 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Bodywork (8 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 18 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 parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”; “Battery insecure (1.9.1)”.
