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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 1971 Rolls Royce Shadow (YIB 8247) between July 2006 and June 2025.

The record contains 17 passes and 3 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (12 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Steering (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural streng”; “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”.
