MOT Analysis

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

33 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Volkswagen Transporter (S688 EVV) between September 2006 and November 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 14 failures.

The most recent test on 24 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 14 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (50 issues), Brakes (35 issues), Lighting (23 issues), Tyres (18 issues), Steering (11 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 110 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: “Offside Front Suspension arm attachment bracket/mounting insecure and impairing directional stability front nut and bolt”; “Offside Front Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Inner Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural ”.
