MOT Analysis

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

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Ford Escort (S232 EGX) between April 2006 and October 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 27 October 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (15 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Windscreen (6 issues), Bodywork (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 31 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 Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Rear Brake load sensing valve linkage defective and function impaired (1.1.17 (a))”; “Front Windscreen washer not working (3.5 (a))”.
