MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Suzuki Vitara (S483 KFP) between August 2006 and February 2023.

The record contains 16 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 22 February 2023 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: Brakes (29 issues), Tyres (17 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Bodywork (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 57 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 Headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Direction indicator not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
