1997 VOLKSWAGEN SHARAN2.0L PETROL

The 1997 Volkswagen Sharan has a long gap between its most recent MOT in 2008 and today’s date of 2026, meaning no recent safety or emissions checks have been recorded. This absence of up-to-date data raises concerns about the vehicle’s current condition, as critical systems may have deteriorated without inspection. The last recorded MOT on 2008-11-17 shows multiple failures, including brake disc wear, a defective spare tyre, and tyre edge wear, which were also noted in earlier entries. These issues suggest recurring mechanical and safety risks. Recurring defects include brake disc wear (3.5.1i), exhaust system faults (7.1.1a, 7.1.2), and tyre edge wear (1.1.A.3d, 1.2.1d). Brake disc issues appear consistently from 2006 to 2008, indicating potential ongoing problems with brake components or maintenance. Exhaust system leaks and corrosion are also repeated, pointing to possible rust or structural degradation. Tyre edge wear, linked to alignment or suspension issues, recurs in multiple MOTs, suggesting unresolved underlying faults. The trend shows no clear improvement. Failures in 2008 outnumbered passes, and critical issues like brake discs and exhaust systems reappeared despite prior fixes.
