MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Mg Zr (GY02 VSX) between September 2006 and June 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 06 June 2017 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: Tyres (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Brakes (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Parking brake lever has no reserve travel (3.1.6b)”; “Offside Front Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded outter sill (5.2.6)”; “Front Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”.
