MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Nissan Micra (R57 BCR) between February 2006 and May 2024.

The record contains 17 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 08 May 2024 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Windscreen (6 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Bodywork (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 36 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 (5.2.3 (e))”; “Nearside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Nearside Inner Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stre”.
