MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Ford Ka (FX51 HTU) between November 2005 and January 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 07 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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: “Nearside Headlamp not working on main beam (1.7.5a)”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”.
