MOT Analysis

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

31 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Ford Escort (T625 JVM) between February 2006 and February 2024.

The record contains 19 passes and 12 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (81 issues), Suspension (40 issues), Bodywork (23 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Windscreen (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 106 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: “Front Service brake excessively fluctuating (1.2.1 (e))”; “Nearside Front Power steering component leaking (2.1.5 (a))”; “Offside Front Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced ”.
