MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Ford Ka (YM04 AEW) between May 2007 and March 2017.

The record contains 11 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 17 March 2017 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: Suspension (6 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Bodywork (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 11 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: “Offside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded to rear at rear (3.6.B.2c)”; “Offside Front brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (3.5.1i)”; “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded inner sill (2.4.A.3)”.
