MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Volkswagen Passat (AU52 VEL) between September 2006 and September 2016.

The record contains 11 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 22 September 2016 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: Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 30 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: “Nearside Front Outer Front drive shaft coupling is excessively worn (2.5.C.1c)”; “Nearside Outer Front constant velocity joint gaiter damaged to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt”; “Offside Front Brake hose excessively deteriorated (3.6.B.4d)”.
