MOT Analysis

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

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Rover 220 (T881 ARA) between April 2006 and April 2011.

The record contains 6 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 26 April 2011 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 (14 issues), Windscreen (9 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 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: “Brakes imbalanced across an axle (3.7.B.5b)”; “Nearside Front Front position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)”; “Offside Rear Brake hose excessively deteriorated (3.6.B.4d)”.
