MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Volkswagen Transporter (V44 SAV) between January 2006 and March 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 04 March 2026 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: Suspension (37 issues), Brakes (28 issues), Lighting (23 issues), Windscreen (9 issues), Steering (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural streng”; “Nearside Front Inner Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Front Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”.
