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 2005 Volkswagen Passat (AD05 LXP) between September 2008 and January 2019.

The record contains 11 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 23 January 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (12 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 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: “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Nearside Drive shaft which forms part of the suspension coupling gaiter missing (2.4.G.4e)”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”.
