MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 2011 Kia Soul (YY61 HFR) between November 2014 and December 2024.

The record contains 11 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 05 December 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (17 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Offside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn Drop link knocking (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
