MOT Analysis

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

10 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Volkswagen Passat (VN58 SYG) between December 2011 and January 2019.

The record contains 8 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (7 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
