MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Volkswagen Passat (LR08 MKG) between November 2021 and August 2025.

The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (10 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn drop link (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn drop link (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Battery insecure and likely to fall from carrier (4.13 (a) (ii))”.
