MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Kia Sportage (A10 LCU) between May 2008 and January 2023.

The record contains 14 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 06 January 2023 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (13 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Steering (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 30 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 Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Nearside Rear Subframe mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength (5.3.6 (”; “Nearside Rear Anti-roll bar attachment bracket/mounting corroded and seriously weakened Chassis (5.3.3 (b) (i))”.
