MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Honda Cr-V (R86 DGJ) between July 2006 and September 2014.

The record contains 9 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 16 September 2014 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 (18 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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 Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”; “Front registration plate deteriorated (6.3.1d)”.
