MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Honda Civic (S744 CJL) between November 2006 and September 2025.

The record contains 18 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 26 September 2025 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: Brakes (20 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Bodywork (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 48 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 Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe leaking on a hydraulic braking system (1.1.11 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Inner Integral body structure inadequately repaired such that structural rigidity is significantly reduced ”.
