MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Volkswagen Passat (BN51 HSJ) between December 2006 and February 2017.

The record contains 11 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 13 February 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (9 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 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 Front Front suspension has excessive play in a upper suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a)”; “Offside Front Front suspension has excessive play in a upper suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a)”; “Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt”.
