MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Volkswagen Passat (R907 CDB) between May 2006 and September 2021.

The record contains 16 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 03 September 2021 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: Lighting (30 issues), Brakes (23 issues), Suspension (22 issues), Tyres (15 issues), Steering (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 66 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: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn rear (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Brake lever has abnormal movement of levers indicating excessive wear or maladjustment (1.1.15 (f))”.
