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 (GF53 AXK) between January 2006 and April 2024.

The record contains 19 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 15 April 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (14 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Steering (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 30 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: “Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Obligatory mirror seriously damaged, affecting the rear view (3.3 (b) (ii))”; “Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm both (5.2.3 (e))”.
