MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Lexus Gs300 (P731 DEP) between September 2006 and March 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 05 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Bodywork (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 31 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 Front Suspension arm attachment bracket/mounting likely to become detached one bolt missing and one bolt not tig”; “Nearside Front Upper Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Brakes imbalanced across an axle (3.7.B.5b)”.
