MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 1983 Volkswagen Camper (RYT 291Y) between June 2007 and June 2025.

The record contains 18 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 20 June 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (18 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Windscreen (10 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 42 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: “Horn sound not in accordance with requirements (7.7 (c))”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper not working (3.4 (a))”; “Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps BOTH (4.7.1 (b) (ii))”.
