MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Volkswagen Passat (M573 HOD) between October 2005 and November 2021.

The record contains 16 passes and 9 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (29 issues), Brakes (21 issues), Suspension (21 issues), Steering (11 issues), Tyres (11 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Shock absorbers damaged to the extent that it does not function (5.3.2 (b))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers damaged to the extent that it does not function (5.3.2 (b))”; “Offside Front Macpherson strut modified so the suspension is inoperative (5.3.3 (c) (ii))”.
