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 2008 Volkswagen Golf (AD57 JCY) between April 2011 and September 2024.

The record contains 13 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 27 September 2024 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: Tyres (13 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 27 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: “Horn not working (7.7 (a))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”.
