MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Volkswagen Golf (HJ53 UTP) between August 2006 and January 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 12 January 2022 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: Tyres (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 8 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 Tyre has ply or cords damaged (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread pattern not visible over the whole tread area when minimum depth required is 1.0mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”.
