MOT Analysis

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

10 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Volkswagen Golf (GAZ 8982) between October 2008 and December 2016.

The record contains 8 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 10 December 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Bodywork (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 3 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 coil spring broken (2.4.C.1a)”; “Nearside Rear coil spring broken (2.4.C.1a)”; “Exhaust emits an excessive level of metered smoke for a turbo charged engine (7.4.B.3b)”.
