MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Ford Escort (V483 DBJ) between October 2005 and November 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 4 failures.
