MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 1989 Volkswagen Caravelle (F348 JTA) between August 2006 and September 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 12 September 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (50 issues), Brakes (21 issues), Steering (11 issues), Bodywork (10 issues), Tyres (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 71 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 Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Offside Headlamp not working on main beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”.
