MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Seat Arosa (S702 BWV) between October 2005 and September 2023.

The record contains 19 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 19 September 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Bodywork (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: “Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Brake hose excessively deteriorated (1.1.12 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement rear bush (2.4.G.2)”.
