MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Kia Rio (FV55 TUU) between December 2008 and July 2023.

The record contains 16 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 08 July 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (16 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Steering (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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: “Offside Track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingres”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”; “Offside Rear Parking brake inoperative on one side (1.4.1 (a))”.
