MOT Analysis

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

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Volkswagen Golf (H12 CBW) between September 2005 and October 2025.

The record contains 21 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 06 October 2025 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: Brakes (28 issues), Suspension (17 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 61 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 Inner Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn Wishbone bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Inner Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn Wishbone bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Upper Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.
