MOT Analysis

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

11 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Volkswagen Vento (L961 TCR) between February 2006 and February 2011.

The record contains 6 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 09 February 2011 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (29 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Brakes (3 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: “Offside Front Brake hose bulging under pressure (3.6.B.3)”; “Nearside Front Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mount”; “Offside Rear Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.2.6)”.
