ADY 679D MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Volkswagen Golf (ADY 679D) between July 2008 and January 2026.
The record contains 18 passes and 6 failures.
The most recent test on 28 January 2026 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 (14 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 28 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 Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress”.
