MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 1989 Ford Transit (F685 RPO) between April 2006 and October 2025.

The record contains 17 passes and 11 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (26 issues), Bodywork (24 issues), Brakes (16 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
