MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Land Rover Discovery (FC03 HTF) between August 2006 and December 2020.

The record contains 12 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (16 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Bodywork (5 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”.
