MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1990 Volkswagen Golf (H151 GFA) between October 2005 and June 2024.

The record contains 14 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 17 June 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (17 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Steering (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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: “Central Obligatory mirror missing (3.3 (a))”; “Nearside Front Steering rack has excessive free play detected at the steering wheel to the extent that safe steering is ”; “Driver's seat insecure (6.2.5 (a) (ii))”.
