MOT Analysis

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

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Passat (OV53 PGF) between February 2007 and August 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 13 failures.

The most recent test on 29 August 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 13 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (57 issues), Suspension (29 issues), Lighting (27 issues), Windscreen (18 issues), Tyres (15 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 120 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 Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn Rear arm (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Service brake excessively fluctuating (1.2.1 (e))”.
