MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Volkswagen Golf (DX52 ADO) between August 2006 and April 2024.

The record contains 19 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 19 April 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (22 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 39 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: “Nearside Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”.
