MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Honda Civic (R294 DAX) between June 2006 and December 2023.

The record contains 16 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 08 December 2023 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (60 issues), Brakes (24 issues), Tyres (15 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Bodywork (10 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 93 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 Front Upper Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Upper Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Hydraulic brake calliper leaking and braking performance affected (1.1.16 (b) (ii))”.
