MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Toyota Rav4 (SL53 KYC) between September 2006 and March 2019.

The record contains 13 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 29 March 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (16 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 28 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 brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (3.5.1i)”; “Nearside Front brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (3.5.1i)”; “Front Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”.
