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 1994 Isuzu Bighorn (M850 COT) between June 2006 and January 2023.

The record contains 13 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 18 January 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (20 issues), Brakes (15 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Bodywork (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 41 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 Inner Cab or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of a cab mounting fac”; “Front Prop shaft flexible coupling excessively deteriorated propshaft rear universal joint (6.1.7 (d) (i))”; “Nearside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”.
