MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Ford Transit (43 LW) between September 2011 and September 2025.

The record contains 15 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 30 September 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (19 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 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 Upper Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Front Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”.
