MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Volkswagen Golf (V398 YVL) between July 2006 and June 2019.

The record contains 14 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 06 June 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (18 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 36 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: “Rear Brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps (4.7.1 (b) (ii))”.
