MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Toyota Previa (VA52 TKN) between January 2006 and February 2014.

The record contains 13 passes and 14 failures.

The most recent test on 25 February 2014 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 14 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (32 issues), Suspension (18 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (10 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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 Front suspension locking device ineffective (2.5.A.4)”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingr”; “Offside Headlamp incorrect colour (1.7.5b)”.
