MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Suzuki Jimny (SL53 OVC) between September 2006 and April 2018.

The record contains 12 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 27 April 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (18 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Bodywork (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 22 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 Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Registration plate lamp not working (1.1.C.1d)”; “Brake load sensing valve linkage defective and function impaired spring broken (3.6.E.3)”.
