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 2004 Volkswagen Lt (GL04 HFV) between December 2007 and November 2025.

The record contains 17 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 03 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (24 issues), Lighting (18 issues), Suspension (16 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 56 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 Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”.
