MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1991 Volkswagen Golf (H536 LRU) between February 2006 and March 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 25 March 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (14 issues), Steering (12 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Suspension (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 62 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: “Nearside Front Lower Suspension component ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Inner Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (”; “Steering system excessively rough (2.1.1 (a))”.
