MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Volkswagen Golf (AP54 SDY) between January 2008 and May 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 13 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (13 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Bodywork (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 16 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: “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h))”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Nearside Outer Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced”.
