MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Volkswagen Transporter (L780 PHK) between February 2009 and July 2021.

The record contains 12 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 23 July 2021 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: Suspension (22 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (11 issues), Tyres (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 40 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 Headlamp aim too high and too far to the right. (1.8)”; “Fuel system component leaking (7.2.3)”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)”.
