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 1998 Seat Alhambra (R370 CVV) between December 2005 and December 2022.

The record contains 18 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 20 December 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (24 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 43 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: “Central Front Inner Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (”; “Nearside Front Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Offside Front Direction indicator incorrect colour (4.4.3 (a))”.
