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 2001 Volkswagen Golf (SH51 VAK) between November 2005 and November 2012.

The record contains 8 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 08 November 2012 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: Brakes (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 4 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: “Emissions not tested (7.0)”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has a lump, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (4.1.D.1b)”; “Offside Outer Front Anti-roll bar has excessive play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)”.
