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 Fiat Barchetta (P952 DAB) between October 2005 and February 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 26 February 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (18 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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 Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt s”; “Nearside Front Inner Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Offside Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”.
