3 DSX MOT History
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 Transporter (3 DSX) between March 2006 and April 2026.
The record contains 20 passes and 10 failures.
The most recent test on 01 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (14 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Steering (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 41 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: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Service brake effort inadequate at a wheel (1.2.1 (a) (i))”.
