MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Honda Civic (RL54 NZP) between January 2008 and January 2024.

The record contains 17 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 18 January 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (22 issues), Brakes (21 issues), Suspension (21 issues), Tyres (15 issues), Windscreen (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 68 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 Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stren”; “Offside Front Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”.
