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 1984 Volkswagen Golf (A465 VML) between September 2006 and December 2020.

The record contains 9 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (5 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
