MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Volkswagen Caravelle (S160 EOB) between October 2005 and November 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 11 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (49 issues), Suspension (26 issues), Windscreen (24 issues), Bodywork (13 issues), Steering (10 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
