An advisory is a comment from an MOT test. It is not the same as a failure item on that test.
The tester recorded something to watch. It might be a tyre, a brake, or corrosion. The same wording can appear again on a later test. The free report groups advisories into the latest test and older tests, and lists a theme when it appears on more than one test.
A failure item is separate. The report labels major items, dangerous items, fails, and items rectified at the test when the DVSA record includes them.
Use the advisory as a prompt to look at that part of the car. It is not a measurement of how soon the part will fail. Run the free report, then decide if you need Factory X Extras, Service X History or Provenance X Check.
No. An advisory is noted without being the reason that test failed. A later test can still fail for a related defect.
The free report uses DVSA MOT history. That is the data source named on the report.
