MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Honda Civic (R415 EFG) between April 2006 and April 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 10 April 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (8 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Bodywork (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 23 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: “Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”.
