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 1997 Triumph Adventurer (P948 GBC) between July 2005 and April 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 14 April 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (14 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 18 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: “Rear Registration plate lamp missing in the case of a single lamp or all lamps (4.7.1 (b) (ii))”; “Front position lamp does not illuminate immediately when switched on (1.1.3a)”; “Rear Tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm (4.1.3(ii))”.
