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 1996 Mitsubishi Pajero (N552 JOT) between August 2012 and October 2025.

The record contains 13 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 23 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (35 issues), Steering (14 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (9 issues), Suspension (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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 Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced ”; “Nearside Front Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint likely to become detached (5.3.4 (a) (ii))”.
