MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Isuzu Trooper Citation Lwb (R956 CUG) between November 2006 and December 2025.

The record contains 15 passes and 11 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (39 issues), Lighting (34 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 85 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 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
