MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Ford Ka (BP05 SWZ) between August 2008 and February 2025.

The record contains 17 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 18 February 2025 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (16 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Bodywork (4 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 Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn rear bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”.
