MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Honda Civic (YB03 DFV) between June 2006 and May 2018.

The record contains 13 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 24 May 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Suspension (15 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 36 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 Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”; “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”; “Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”.
