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 Ldv Pilot (R755 USM) between September 2006 and September 2015.

The record contains 10 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 04 September 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (25 issues), Lighting (19 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Bodywork (2 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 46 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 Front wheel bearing rough when rotated (2.5.A.2)”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Offside Front Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mounting”.
