MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Ford Transit Connect (RV55 XVG) between August 2008 and March 2024.

The record contains 16 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (13 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Bodywork (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed inner edge worn out and cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Inner Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Offside Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced hole i”.
