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 2016 Ds Ds3 (SY66 VSJ) between January 2022 and January 2025.

The record contains 3 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 16 January 2025 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue). 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: “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases front flexi (6.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Front Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6.1.7”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
