MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Volkswagen Golf (EK02 EBP) between April 2006 and October 2018.

The record contains 13 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 13 October 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (14 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 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 Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Offside Rear Suspension component pin or bush excessively worn trailing arm front bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Suspension component pin or bush excessively worn trialing arm front bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
