MOT Analysis

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

8 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Ford Mondeo (S635 TCA) between July 2005 and October 2008.

The record contains 4 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 06 October 2008 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (8 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Windscreen (6 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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: “Nearside Front Front wheel bearing has excessive play (2.5.A.3c)”; “Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”; “Offside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”.
