MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Ford Escort (V523 GCG) between January 2006 and January 2016.

The record contains 11 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 16 January 2016 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 (9 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 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 Brake master cylinder/servo mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (3.6.C.3)”; “Offside Rear Tyre(s) incorrect because different size tyres are fitted on the same axle. (4.1.A.1a)”; “Front registration plate deteriorated (6.3.1d)”.
