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 Honda Insight (J50 BCE) between March 2006 and June 2023.

The record contains 17 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 21 June 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (31 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 41 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: “Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect Both (4.1.2 (c))”; “Stop lamp(s) not working Nearside and offside (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”.
