MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Honda Civic (R29 KBR) between April 2006 and May 2018.

The record contains 12 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (12 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Steering (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
