MOT Analysis

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

4 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Skoda Octavia (RF57 SYX) between February 2022 and February 2023.

The record contains 2 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Brakes (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
