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 1997 Fiat Barchetta (P215 FRX) between April 2006 and April 2018.

The record contains 12 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 27 April 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.D.4)”; “Emissions not tested (7.0)”; “Centre Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”.
