MOT Analysis

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

7 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Ford Escort (P758 NWX) between February 2006 and February 2009.

The record contains 3 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 21 February 2009 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (9 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Bodywork (8 issues), Lighting (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 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: “Parking brake lever has no reserve travel (3.1.6b)”; “Offside Steering arm has relative movement at its fixings (2.2.B.1h)”; “Nearside Steering arm has relative movement at its fixings (2.2.B.1h)”.
