MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 Volkswagen Golf (J31 OLS) between March 2024 and March 2026.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 17 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (12 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 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: “Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced both rear outer sills (7.1.1 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced outer sill (7.1.1 (a) (i”; “Front Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”.
