MOT Analysis

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

The record contains 19 passes and 9 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (38 issues), Suspension (28 issues), Brakes (21 issues), Bodywork (7 issues), Tyres (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Rear Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced both sides (6.1”; “Nearside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stre”; “Offside Front Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced inner & outer sill area (”.
