MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 1990 Volkswagen Golf (H883 FLA) between July 2005 and August 2021.

The record contains 17 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 05 August 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (26 issues), Brakes (19 issues), Bodywork (13 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 48 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 Rear Brake hose ferrule excessively corroded on caliper (3.6.B.4e)”; “Front Brakes imbalanced across an axle o/s slow (3.7.B.5b)”; “Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content excessive (7.3.B.1a)”.
