MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Beetle (SM54 YUD) between April 2008 and August 2024.

The record contains 17 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 12 August 2024 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: Brakes (27 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Suspension (14 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Windscreen (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 52 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 Inner Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly re”; “Nearside Front Inner Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly r”; “Offside Rear Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced I”.
