MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Toyota Corolla (SO53 OBB) between December 2006 and May 2023.

The record contains 18 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 09 May 2023 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: Brakes (13 issues), Bodywork (8 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 30 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 Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Valve stem seriously damaged (5.2.3 (j))”; “Offside Front Valve stem seriously damaged (5.2.3 (j))”.
