MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Volkswagen Beetle (CW55 BSY) between January 2009 and October 2024.

The record contains 14 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 04 October 2024 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (13 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Windscreen (9 issues), Suspension (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 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: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Outer Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced ”; “Nearside Outer Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced”.
