MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Volkswagen Transporter (L488 ONO) between February 2006 and October 2025.

The record contains 18 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 18 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (17 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Bodywork (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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 Brake pipe leaking on a hydraulic braking system front to rear (1.1.11 (b) (ii))”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases front pipe (6.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has a lump, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
