MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Vauxhall Combo (P940 FJF) between December 2006 and September 2022.

The record contains 13 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 15 September 2022 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (27 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Steering (9 issues), Bodywork (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 47 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 Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”.
