MOT Analysis

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

38 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Fiat Ducato (R231 CEU) between March 2006 and May 2026.

The record contains 22 passes and 16 failures.

The most recent test on 01 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 16 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (36 issues), Bodywork (31 issues), Suspension (29 issues), Brakes (24 issues), Windscreen (10 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 111 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: “Offside Rear Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Rear Stop lamp(s) all not working (4.3.1 (a) (iii))”; “Offside Rear Suspension spring mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength ”.
