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 2002 Ford Escort (LF02 ACZ) between October 2005 and November 2014.

The record contains 10 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 15 November 2014 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (33 issues), Suspension (24 issues), Brakes (17 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Steering (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 64 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 Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountin”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”.
