MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Ford Galaxy (R761 DPW) between September 2006 and October 2016.

The record contains 11 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 31 October 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (28 issues), Lighting (26 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 41 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 Direction indicator not working (1.4.A.2c)”; “Windscreen has damage to an area in excess of a 10mm circle within zone 'A' (8.3.1a)”; “Supplementary Restraint System warning lamp indicates a fault (5.4.2)”.
