MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Fiat Unknown (R256 CHE) between January 2006 and May 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 20 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (20 issues), Brakes (16 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 29 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: “Central Exhaust system insecure exhaust hanger has gone (6.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Wheel bearing play so excessive it is likely to break up (5.1.3 (a) (ii))”.
