MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 1990 Volkswagen Golf (H484 HRD) between September 2006 and July 2024.

The record contains 8 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 15 July 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (8 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 11 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 lever has excessive movement indicating incorrect adjustment (1.1.6 (c))”; “Nearside Front Macpherson strut pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Exhaust engine idle speed too high (7.3.A.2a)”.
