MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Toyota Gravia (R122 DKY) between March 2014 and October 2025.

The record contains 12 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Steering (6 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
