MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Ford Transit Connect (SO54 DKA) between December 2007 and May 2024.

The record contains 17 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 25 May 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (31 issues), Lighting (24 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Bodywork (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 69 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 Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Leaf spring main leaf fractured (5.3.1 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Inner Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural ”.
