MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Nissan Micra (S942 DGC) between August 2005 and September 2021.

The record contains 17 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 14 September 2021 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: Tyres (16 issues), Windscreen (9 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 29 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 Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Outer Front Lower Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.2.6)”; “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”.
