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 (R952 EFC) between July 2006 and November 2022.

The record contains 17 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 16 November 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (22 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 40 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 Rear Wheel bearing has excessive play (5.1.3 (a) (i))”; “Rear Tyre fouling a part of the vehicle both rear (5.2.3 (f))”; “Offside Integral body structure or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of a bo”.
