MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Kia Picanto (WU55 LHC) between September 2008 and September 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 04 September 2026 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: Brakes (19 issues), Lighting (17 issues), Suspension (15 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Steering (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 62 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 Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (”; “Front Service brake excessively fluctuating (1.2.1 (e))”; “Nearside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”.
