P964 FAO MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
33 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Volkswagen Transporter (P964 FAO) between May 2006 and November 2025.
The record contains 19 passes and 14 failures.
The most recent test on 21 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 14 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (39 issues), Lighting (21 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Steering (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 48 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 Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
