MOT Analysis

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

13 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Volkswagen Golf (NX52 PXB) between August 2006 and January 2017.

The record contains 10 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 23 January 2017 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: Brakes (15 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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 Rear Outer Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”; “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Brake servo vacuum pipe split (3.6.C.1b)”.
