MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Rover Metro (M428 PSO) between November 2005 and October 2025.

The record contains 21 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 31 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 19 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 Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced Floor (7.1.1 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stren”; “Nearside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stre”.
