MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Suzuki Wagon-R+ (R140 CYG) between January 2007 and September 2021.

The record contains 14 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 03 September 2021 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 6 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: “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded to the extent that control of the vehicle is likely to be adve”; “Exhaust hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”.
