MOT Analysis

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

9 MOT tests are recorded for this 1991 Ford Escort (H844 KPB) between January 2006 and September 2025.

The record contains 7 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 19 September 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (10 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 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 less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”.
