MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 Ford Transit (N956 XDB) between August 2005 and April 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 12 April 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (15 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Steering (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 38 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: “Nearside Front wheel bearing rough when rotated (2.5.A.2)”; “Rear Brake pipe inadequately clipped (3.6.B.1)”; “Nearside Front Headlamp has a product on the lens so that the light output is severely reduced (1.7.5a)”.
