MOT Analysis

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

9 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Ford Ka (S647 JGA) between May 2005 and April 2010.

The record contains 6 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 02 April 2010 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (17 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 20 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 Anti-roll bar rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”; “Rear Body has a sharp edge caused by corrosion (6.1.C.1)”.
