MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Volkswagen Passat (DG08 YDO) between January 2011 and February 2024.

The record contains 15 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 02 February 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (27 issues), Tyres (18 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Lighting (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 47 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 Anti-roll bar ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
