MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Transit Connect (YT53 KFN) between August 2006 and April 2022.

The record contains 15 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 27 April 2022 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (31 issues), Brakes (31 issues), Lighting (26 issues), Suspension (16 issues), Bodywork (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 76 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: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Service brake effort inadequate at a wheel (1.2.1 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Service brake effort inadequate at a wheel (1.2.1 (a) (i))”.
