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 2012 Volkswagen Jetta (YR12 EAF) between March 2015 and October 2025.

The record contains 12 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 20 October 2025 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: Tyres (9 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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 Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced outer sill (7.1.1 (a) (i))”.
