MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Nissan Micra (R946 NUG) between October 2005 and February 2018.

The record contains 13 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 16 February 2018 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 (10 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Lighting (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: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (3.7.B.5b)”; “Nearside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside rear parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)”.
