MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Nissan Almera (SA53 AOT) between October 2006 and November 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 18 November 2022 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: Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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 Headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”; “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”.
