MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Nissan Primera (R471 CWL) between January 2006 and October 2021.

The record contains 17 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 20 October 2021 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: Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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: “Emissions not tested (8.2.1.2 (d))”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”.
