MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Ford Transit (P154 KJH) between June 2006 and May 2026.

The record contains 18 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 29 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (16 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Tyres (1 issue), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 28 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 Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”; “Offside Front suspension has excessive play in a lower suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a)”; “Nearside Front Shock absorber has a serious fluid leak (2.7.3)”.
