MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Ford Ka (MJ51 VBO) between November 2005 and May 2015.

The record contains 10 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 23 May 2015 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 (26 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Brakes (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 31 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 Front Radius arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Front Radius arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Rear position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)”.
