MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Transit Connect (LD53 HLE) between September 2006 and September 2016.

The record contains 11 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 13 September 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

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

In total 3 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 Front constant velocity joint gaiter damaged to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”; “Centre Rear Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”.
