1965 VOLKSWAGEN MOTOR CARAVAN1.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 1965 Volkswagen Motor Caravan was conducted on 2014-07-22, with 9,580 miles recorded. At that time, the vehicle passed but had several noted issues: nearside track rod end ball joint play, front brake discs worn or scored, and offside rear wheel bearing play. Corrosion was also identified in the wheel arches. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly with suspension components and brake systems. A review of earlier MOTs reveals recurring patterns. From 2011 to 2014, brake discs consistently showed wear or scoring, and wheel bearings exhibited slight play. Corrosion in wheel arches and floor panels was documented in 2013 and 2014. A 2013 failure highlighted shock absorber bush wear and a brake hose restriction, but these were reportedly resolved by 2014. However, the 2014 pass still noted unresolved issues, indicating potential neglect or intermittent repairs. The vehicle’s mileage of 9,580 miles over 61 years equates to roughly 157 miles per year, which is exceptionally low.
