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 2003 Honda Civic (DA52 XVS) between February 2006 and November 2020.

The record contains 16 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 20 November 2020 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: Lighting (14 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Steering (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 11 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 ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Track rod end ball joint dust cover insecure so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Offside Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”.
