MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Ka (EY53 UHM) between October 2024 and September 2026.

The record contains 2 passes and 3 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 16 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 Front Vehicle structure or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of a b”; “Offside Front Wheel bearing has excessive play (5.1.3 (a) (i))”; “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”.
