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 2004 Kia Carens (GD53 WWF) between January 2007 and March 2018.

The record contains 12 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 14 March 2018 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: Brakes (28 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 44 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)”; “Offside Rear Outer Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body m”; “Nearside Rear Outer Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body ”.
