MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Peugeot 406 (R349 FGJ) between July 2006 and July 2019.

The record contains 14 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 18 July 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (32 issues), Suspension (24 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 72 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 Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Registration plate lamp not working (1.1.C.1d)”.
