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 2001 Ford Transit (Y157 DAU) between April 2006 and July 2023.

The record contains 15 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 27 July 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (42 issues), Brakes (36 issues), Lighting (20 issues), Bodywork (10 issues), Tyres (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 82 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: “Nearside Rear Brake pipe leaking on a hydraulic braking system between brake hose and load valve (1.1.11 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded between load valve and brake hose (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Front Subframe mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength (5.3.6 (”.
