MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Ford Transit Connect (RA54 FBO) between June 2006 and October 2024.

The record contains 19 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 31 October 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (26 issues), Lighting (20 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Bodywork (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 54 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 Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Lower Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint likely to become detached (5.3.4 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Inner Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced Sill hold and corroded (7”.
