MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 1981 Volkswagen Scirocco (CAB 619W) between January 2006 and June 2026.

The record contains 15 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 17 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (20 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 29 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))”; “Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Nearside Front Coil spring insecure (5.3.1 (a) (i))”.
