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

6 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Seat Cordoba (R920 FBE) between December 2005 and January 2010.

The record contains 5 passes and 1 failure.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
