MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Toyota Starlet (P593 GRB) between March 2006 and March 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 25 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (19 issues), Lighting (18 issues), Tyres (17 issues), Steering (5 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 53 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 Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Valve stem seriously damaged (5.2.3 (j))”.
