MOT Analysis

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

34 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Volkswagen Golf (BT51 AXK) between November 2006 and November 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 14 failures.

The most recent test on 20 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 14 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (25 issues), Brakes (23 issues), Lighting (16 issues), Suspension (16 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 88 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 Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced floor (7.1.1 (a) (i))”.
