SGS 189W MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
9 MOT tests are recorded for this 1980 Land Rover 88 (SGS 189W) between October 2012 and April 2017.
The record contains 4 passes and 5 failures.
The most recent test on 25 April 2017 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: Suspension (16 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Bodywork (4 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: “Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded at front of spring hanger (2.4.A.3)”; “Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded at spring hanger (2.4.A.3)”; “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”.
