MOT Analysis

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

10 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Volkswagen Passat (W185 ACY) between March 2006 and March 2011.

The record contains 6 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 28 March 2011 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (7 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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 Brake hose excessively deteriorated (3.6.B.4d)”; “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Offside Front position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)”.
