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 1997 Nissan Micra (R505 EDV) between November 2005 and November 2021.

The record contains 17 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 19 November 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: Brakes (12 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Steering (5 issues), Suspension (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 28 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 major exhaust leak (8.2.1.2 (d))”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases rear silencer (6.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Outer Front constant velocity joint gaiter damaged to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”.
