MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Daihatsu Hijet (V978 HBH) between March 2006 and October 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 21 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (29 issues), Brakes (24 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Steering (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Brake pipe excessively corroded both front to rear (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Front Lower Steering component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded inner wheel arch (2.1.2 (e) (i)”.
