MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Volkswagen Golf (V57 DJR) between April 2006 and June 2016.

The record contains 11 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 22 June 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (11 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Steering (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 15 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 Macpherson strut has excessive movement at the upper attachment (2.5.A.1c)”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Registration plate lamp not working (1.1.C.1d)”.
