MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Volkswagen Golf (BV58 UEP) between August 2011 and January 2025.

The record contains 14 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 24 January 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 15 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: “Windscreen washer not working (3.5 (a))”; “Offside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases back of the engine (6.1.2 (a))”.
