MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Kia Sedona (FH03 VEL) between June 2006 and July 2015.

The record contains 10 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 09 July 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (26 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 37 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: “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Nearside Front constant velocity joint gaiter deteriorated to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Offside rear parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)”.
