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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Golf (BT53 NXM) between January 2007 and October 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (6 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
