MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Honda Stepwagon (R142 DKY) between April 2014 and May 2026.

The record contains 13 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 26 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (14 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Bodywork (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 31 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: “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”.
