MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Kia Picanto (MK05 YGF) between March 2008 and March 2022.

The record contains 14 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 10 March 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Windscreen (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 16 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: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Upper Macpherson strut top bush or bearing has excessive wear or free play (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”.
