MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Transporter (VW51 ARW) between October 2007 and September 2023.

The record contains 17 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 01 September 2023 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: Lighting (14 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 31 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: “Rear Registration plate lamp does not illuminate simultaneously with the position lamps (4.7.2 (a))”; “Offside Rear Outer Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced S”; “Offside Front Outer Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced ”.
