MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Volkswagen Jetta (A18 RBC) between August 2009 and March 2025.

The record contains 18 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 12 March 2025 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 (14 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Suspension (1 issue), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 16 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 Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Front Headlamp has a product on the lens so that the light output is severely reduced both (4.1.4 (b))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”.
