MOT Analysis

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

13 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Volkswagen Golf (V884 DVU) between January 2006 and January 2016.

The record contains 10 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 18 January 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Suspension (1 issue), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 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 rear parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)”; “Offside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (4.1.D.1a)”; “Nearside Front constant velocity joint gaiter damaged to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc (”.
