MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 Ford Montague (N494 CAN) between July 2005 and August 2024.

The record contains 19 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 17 August 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (16 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (10 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Bodywork (9 issues), Steering (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Body panel corroded and likely to cause injury (6.2.1 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
