MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Toyota Hi-Ace (P942 DRX) between August 2005 and April 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 08 April 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (25 issues), Suspension (17 issues), Brakes (15 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 51 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 Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a))”.
