MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Nissan Micra (V978 GTC) between November 2005 and June 2023.

The record contains 17 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 15 June 2023 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (22 issues), Brakes (18 issues), Suspension (15 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 44 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: “Brake lever has insufficient reserve travel (1.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Front Wheel bearing play so excessive it is likely to break up (5.1.3 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
