MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Mitsubishi Lancer (M237 HTA) between August 2006 and October 2021.

The record contains 16 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 13 October 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (21 issues), Windscreen (9 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Bodywork (5 issues), Tyres (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 36 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 Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
