MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Toyota Starlet (S314 ABW) between September 2005 and September 2020.

The record contains 16 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 29 September 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (9 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 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 Outer Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”; “Nearside Front coil spring broken (2.4.C.1a)”; “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”.
