MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Volkswagen Beetle (YT08 RVR) between March 2011 and October 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 01 October 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 29 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 Wheel bearing play so excessive it is likely to break up (5.1.3 (a) (ii))”; “Supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault (7.1.6 (a))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
