MOT Analysis

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

The record contains 12 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 09 December 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (13 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Windscreen (8 issues), Lighting (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
