MOT Analysis

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

10 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Fiat Punto (S455 VGA) between July 2005 and September 2010.

The record contains 6 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 11 September 2010 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (9 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Service brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Offside Steering rack gaiter insecure (2.2.D.2d)”; “Nearside Steering rack gaiter insecure (2.2.D.2d)”.
