MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Lexus Is200 (V78 NMA) between September 2005 and October 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 02 October 2017 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (12 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Windscreen (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 45 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: “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Offside Rear Shock absorber has a serious fluid leak (2.7.3)”; “Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded Sill panel (2.4.A.3)”.
