MOT Analysis

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

11 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Ford Transit (M971 ONK) between March 2008 and September 2015.

The record contains 8 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 21 September 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Steering (2 issues), Brakes (1 issue), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 3 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 Rear Lower Shock absorber has an excessively worn bush (2.7.4)”; “Nearside Front coil spring broken (2.4.C.1a)”; “Offside Front Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mounting”.
