MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Nissan Micra (N954 DNA) between January 2006 and April 2014.

The record contains 9 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 25 April 2014 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 (12 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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: “Brakes imbalanced across an axle (3.7.B.5b)”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingr”; “Offside Front Front constant velocity joint gaiter damaged to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”.
