MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Transit Connect (MV03 UAW) between October 2006 and August 2024.

The record contains 16 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 30 August 2024 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (18 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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: “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural streng”; “Front Registration plate does not conform to the specified requirements (0.1 (d))”.
