MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Ford Ka (GV55 XPL) between December 2008 and September 2023.

The record contains 15 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 20 September 2023 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (12 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Windscreen (9 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 39 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: “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stren”; “Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”.
