MOT Analysis

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 25 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (4 issues), Lighting (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
