MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Volkswagen Golf (CV51 AEO) between September 2005 and October 2018.

The record contains 14 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 05 October 2018 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: Suspension (23 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 37 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 Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn rear bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Inner Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Central Exhaust noise is clearly in excess of that emitted by a similar vehicle fitted with a standard silencer in avera”.
