MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Passat (RA04 ENL) between May 2007 and November 2022.

The record contains 15 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 10 November 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (21 issues), Tyres (15 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 41 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 Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”.
