MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Volkswagen Caddy (R613 DVX) between October 2012 and May 2023.

The record contains 11 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 30 May 2023 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: Suspension (39 issues), Brakes (39 issues), Bodywork (25 issues), Lighting (19 issues), Tyres (12 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 124 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: “Offside Front Headlamp aim too high (4.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Inner Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced sill - floor pan (7.1.1 (”; “Nearside Inner Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced sill - floor pan (7.1.1 ”.
