MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Volkswagen Lupo (SN52 VXE) between October 2005 and November 2015.

The record contains 11 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 02 November 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (9 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Steering (2 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 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 Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.2.B.1f)”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”.
