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 2004 Volkswagen Golf (CE54 CYT) between August 2007 and October 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 10 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (30 issues), Suspension (23 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (”; “Electronic stability control warning lamp indicates a fault (7.12 (e))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
