MOT Analysis

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

31 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Volkswagen Golf (F4 MTS) between April 2006 and February 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 27 February 2026 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 (23 issues), Suspension (19 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 63 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: “Offside Front Upper Coil spring mounting insecure to the extent that relative movement is visible (5.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Nearside Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”.
