MOT Analysis

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

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 1993 Talbot Express (L320 RPN) between August 2006 and February 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 13 failures.

The most recent test on 10 February 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 13 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (44 issues), Suspension (28 issues), Lighting (20 issues), Bodywork (11 issues), Tyres (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 78 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: “Nearside Front Upper Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stren”; “Nearside Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”.
