MOT Analysis

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

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Ford Escort (R475 JPB) between April 2006 and June 2013.

The record contains 8 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 18 June 2013 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 (15 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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 Front Upper Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents t”; “Nearside Front Steering arm has relative movement at its fixings (2.2.B.1h)”; “Offside Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.2.6)”.
