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 1996 Mitsubishi Pajro (N185 JMB) between April 2006 and November 2025.

The record contains 17 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 19 November 2025 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 (23 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Bodywork (6 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 47 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 Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced ”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”.
