MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Yamaha Fzs600 (R29 GCA) between September 2005 and March 2023.

The record contains 14 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 15 March 2023 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (11 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 13 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: “Headlamp aim projected beam image obviously incorrect and verry low off scale (4.1.2 (c))”; “Wheel alignment incorrect which adversely affects the handling front and rear and handle bars not in line with wheel whe”; “Rear Stop lamp adversely affected by the operation of another lamp indicators (4.3.3 (b))”.
