MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Volkswagen Golf (AK05 ASH) between July 2008 and July 2026.

The record contains 18 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 21 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (17 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Windscreen (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 19 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: “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Rear Brake back plate(s) securing device excessively deteriorated (3.5.1j)”; “Nearside Rear Rear wheel bearing rough when rotated (2.6.1)”.
