MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Volkswagen Transporter (RA08 ACX) between July 2009 and April 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 08 April 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (20 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Windscreen (9 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 46 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 Parking brake inoperative on one side (1.4.1 (a))”; “Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.2.2 (g))”.
