MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Transit (YS53 AJX) between October 2006 and June 2021.

The record contains 12 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 15 June 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Steering (3 issues), Suspension (1 issue). 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: “Offside rear brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.5a)”; “rear brake application uneven (3.7.B.2)”; “Nearside Front position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)”.
