MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Ford Ka (WM57 CYT) between January 2011 and January 2024.

The record contains 13 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 03 January 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (20 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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 Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”.
