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 12 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 10 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Bodywork (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
