MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Beetle (DA04 YCB) between June 2007 and February 2024.

The record contains 17 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 22 February 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (17 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Windscreen (9 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 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 Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6.1.7 ”; “Offside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”.
