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 2002 Volkswagen Golf (AU52 DPX) between August 2006 and July 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 01 July 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (17 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Steering (3 issues). 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: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Offside Parking brake inoperative on one side (1.4.1 (a))”.
