MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 1990 Volkswagen Lt (H438 UYA) between June 2006 and August 2021.

The record contains 16 passes and 14 failures.

The most recent test on 20 August 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 14 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (43 issues), Lighting (39 issues), Suspension (32 issues), Tyres (20 issues), Windscreen (16 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 82 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: “Rear Service brake lagging in operation both nearside and offside (1.2.1 (d))”; “Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”.
