MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Ford Transit Connect (RO08 FYL) between April 2011 and October 2021.

The record contains 11 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 18 October 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (13 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Suspension (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Offside Front Inner Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Front Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))”.
