MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1989 Ford Escort (F755 MWV) between May 2006 and May 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 07 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (8 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Bodywork (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 9 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: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”.
