MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1989 Volkswagen Unknown (F625 XPY) between May 2005 and February 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 27 February 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (18 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Bodywork (8 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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 Rear Lower Shock absorbers has an excessively worn bush (5.3.2 (c))”; “Offside Rear Shock absorbers has negligible damping effect (5.3.2 (d))”; “Nearside Rear Brake cable insecure (1.1.15 (c))”.
