P81 PAV MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
28 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Rover 416 (P81 PAV) between April 2006 and September 2026.
The record contains 21 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (11 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Windscreen (6 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Bodywork (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 15 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: “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Front Outer Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Outer Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced Sill (7.1.1 (a) (i))”.
