MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Honda Civic (DY53 LKC) between November 2006 and February 2015.

The record contains 10 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 23 February 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (8 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Steering (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 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 Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingr”; “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”.
