MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 Ford Escort (N640 FKE) between November 2005 and March 2022.

The record contains 17 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 29 March 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (12 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Bodywork (5 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 19 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: “Front Lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)”; “Stop lamp emits other than a steady red light (1.2.1e)”; “Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded chassie (2.4.A.3)”.
