MOT Analysis

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

9 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 Volkswagen Golf (N140 HGJ) between March 2006 and February 2011.

The record contains 6 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 11 February 2011 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (7 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Brakes (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 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: “Front Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”; “Offside Front position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)”; “Offside Rear Rear wheel bearing rough when rotated (2.6.1)”.
