MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Volkswagen Passat (R784 FEU) between December 2006 and October 2015.

The record contains 8 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 28 October 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (15 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Windscreen (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 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 Tyre has ply or cords exposed (4.1.D.1b)”; “Nearside Rear Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim beam image obviously incorrect (1.8.A.1b)”.
