MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Honda Cbr (P970 HYD) between February 2006 and August 2023.

The record contains 14 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 10 August 2023 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 (10 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Steering (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue). 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: “All direction indicators not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Direction indicator not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”; “Rear Tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
