MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Toyota Hiace (P228 GTA) between December 2008 and May 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 25 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (23 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Tyres (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 41 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: “Offside Headlamp aim unable to be tested dipped beam not working (4.1.2 (b))”; “Nearside Headlamp aim unable to be tested dipped beam not working (4.1.2 (b))”; “Nearside Headlamp not working on main beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”.
