MOT Analysis

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

34 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Transporter (BT53 CSU) between January 2007 and September 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 14 failures.

The most recent test on 23 September 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 14 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (29 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 63 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 Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”.
