MOT Analysis

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

The record contains 9 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 23 May 2013 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (11 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
