MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Toyota Corolla (SW56 EPF) between November 2009 and September 2024.

The record contains 16 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 12 September 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (43 issues), Suspension (17 issues), Tyres (15 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (10 issues), Lighting (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 81 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: “Emissions unable to be completed (8.2.1.2 (d))”; “Offside Front Vehicle structure or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of a bo”; “Nearside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”.
