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 1995 Volkswagen Transporter (M174 SHG) between May 2009 and December 2025.

The record contains 17 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 03 December 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: Lighting (14 issues), Steering (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Brakes (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 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 Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.
