MOT Analysis

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

4 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Renault Clio (SW53 AVT) between December 2021 and January 2023.

The record contains 1 pass and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 10 January 2023 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Steering (2 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 9 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: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle by more than 50% (1.2.1 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Service brake has no recorded effort at a wheel (1.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Service brake has no recorded effort at a wheel (1.2.1 (a) (ii))”.
