MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Honda Civic (T597 ABM) between October 2006 and March 2016.

The record contains 8 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 15 March 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (17 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Bodywork (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 36 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 Body insecure and dangerous to other road users (6.1.B.1b)”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage insecure (2.4.G.1)”; “Offside Front Direction indicator not working (1.4.A.2c)”.
