MOT Analysis

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

37 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Volkswagen Transporter (SY03 YCL) between April 2006 and June 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 16 failures.

The most recent test on 04 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 16 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (57 issues), Lighting (38 issues), Suspension (17 issues), Steering (13 issues), Windscreen (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 98 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 (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Hydraulic brake calliper inadequately mounted and braking performance affected retaining spring missing (”; “Offside Rear Seat belt missing on the rear seat/bed unit (7.1.2 (a))”.
