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 Nissan Micra (S896 DTM) between July 2006 and July 2024.

The record contains 19 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 09 July 2024 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: Lighting (9 issues), Steering (5 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Brakes (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 18 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: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced ”; “Integral body structure has excessive corrosion which adversely affects braking or steering Front cross member severally”.
