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 2004 Mitsubishi L200 (SM53 GYZ) between December 2006 and January 2014.

The record contains 5 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 23 January 2014 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 (7 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 9 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: “Steering box has a significant oil leak (2.2.D.2e)”; “Front registration plate deteriorated (6.3.1d)”; “Offside Rear fog lamp not working (1.3.2b)”.
