MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Volkswagen Golf (T686 WWU) between August 2005 and September 2012.

The record contains 8 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 04 September 2012 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (23 issues), Brakes (17 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
