MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 1993 Toyota Carina E (K451 RLU) between April 2005 and October 2026.

The record contains 22 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 05 October 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (16 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 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: “Offside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Windscreen washer not working (3.5 (a))”; “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”.
