VOLKSWAGEN CARAVELLE1986 · 1.9L PETROL

The 1986 Volkswagen Caravelle has a MOT history showing mixed results, with the most recent recorded test on 2019-03-30. At that time, the vehicle had 39,671 miles, matching its current recorded mileage. The same date includes both a “PASSED” and “FAILED” MOT, indicating potential repair work between assessments. The failed entry lists multiple critical issues: non-functional horn, headlamps, suspension arm ball joint wear, and tyre defects. These suggest ongoing mechanical and electrical degradation. Recurring problems include suspension component wear, particularly the offside front upper suspension arm ball joint, which was noted in 2019 and 2016. Tyre issues also persist, with worn tyres and ply exposure recorded in 2017 and 2019. Electrical faults, such as non-working headlamps and a failed horn, highlight potential wiring or connection problems. While the 2017 “PASSED” MOT had no defects, the 2019 failures indicate a worsening trend in safety-critical systems. The vehicle’s low mileage of 39,671 miles (about 992 miles per year) suggests minimal use or long periods of inactivity.
