MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Nissan Primera (P39 VHS) between April 2006 and July 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 26 July 2017 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: Lighting (17 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Steering (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 8 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 Rear Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.2.6)”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (3.4.1c)”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”.
