MOT Analysis

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

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Volkswagen Golf (P125 ACY) between September 2006 and October 2013.

The record contains 8 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 23 October 2013 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: Lighting (8 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 20 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: “Brakes imbalanced across an axle (3.7.B.5b)”; “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”.
