MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Triumph Thunderbird (S628 BBD) between May 2005 and August 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 10 August 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 5 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: “Front Stop lamp does not illuminate immediately a brake applies (1.3.1a)”; “Front Roller brake test indicates a binding brake (3.3.A1a)”; “Drive chain worn to excess (6.2.1e)”.
