MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Mitsubishi Pajero (M291 URX) between May 2006 and February 2022.

The record contains 15 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (22 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Brake pipe excessively corroded Both front to rear brake pipes corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded Across rear axle (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Rear Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced I”.
