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 1967 Ford Cortina (SML 891F) between April 2006 and April 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (8 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 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 Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar insecure (2.4.G.1)”.
