MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Ka (DA03 VRM) between July 2006 and July 2018.

The record contains 13 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 05 July 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (17 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Brakes (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 32 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 Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Rear fog lamp not working (4.5.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”.
