MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Ranger (AV03 NHN) between March 2006 and January 2024.

The record contains 19 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 11 January 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (36 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Windscreen (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 62 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 Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”.
