MOT Analysis

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

33 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Ldv 400 (L290 FOV) between November 2006 and February 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 16 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (35 issues), Lighting (18 issues), Windscreen (9 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Suspension (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Drag link end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Driver's seat insecure (6.2.5 (a) (ii))”.
