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 2003 Volkswagen Beetle (R13 NAL) between December 2006 and December 2025.

The record contains 18 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 19 December 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (11 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 27 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 Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Offside Front Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (4.1.D.1b)”; “Nearside Rear Registration plate lamp insecure (1.1.C.1c)”.
