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 2003 Land Rover Discovery (WF53 AOU) between October 2006 and September 2025.

The record contains 18 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 06 September 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (30 issues), Suspension (23 issues), Brakes (19 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Windscreen (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 79 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 Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”; “Nearside Rear Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”; “Front Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (8.2.3)”.
