MOT Analysis

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

34 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Toyota Picnic (R39 MMR) between February 2006 and August 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 14 failures.

The most recent test on 27 August 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 14 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (87 issues), Tyres (38 issues), Brakes (29 issues), Lighting (17 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 183 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: “Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stren”; “Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases tailbox (6.1.2 (a))”.
