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 Toyota Avensis (R652 BDB) between November 2005 and March 2015.

The record contains 9 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 16 March 2015 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (8 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 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: “Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.3)”; “Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim beam image obviously incorrect (1.8.A.1b)”.
