MOT Analysis

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

31 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Ford Mondeo (P988 GPE) between February 2006 and October 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 06 October 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (27 issues), Suspension (21 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 56 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: “Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Emissions not tested (8.2.1.2 (d))”.
