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 2001 Rover 25 (BJ51 ORK) between November 2005 and March 2021.

The record contains 13 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 31 March 2021 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Bodywork (8 issues), Windscreen (7 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 Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Front Brakes imbalanced across an axle (1.2.1 (b) (i))”.
