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 (EK04 CFZ) between May 2007 and February 2024.

The record contains 19 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 12 February 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (18 issues), Tyres (16 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Windscreen (12 issues), Suspension (12 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 48 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: “Exhaust system insecure centre (6.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Front Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt inner a”; “Offside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”.
