MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Nissan Almera (LS53 VMX) between January 2007 and May 2024.

The record contains 17 passes and 7 failures.
