MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Honda Cb500 (V255 DSE) between August 2005 and April 2024.

The record contains 13 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 24 April 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (5 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Steering (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (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: “Steering movement excessively 'notchy' with the weight on the lower bearing (2.2.1a)”; “Headlamp aim beam image kick up to the offside (1.6)”.
