MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 1991 Volkswagen Golf (J883 HMF) between October 2006 and August 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 12 August 2025 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 (18 issues), Lighting (17 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (12 issues), Suspension (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 75 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: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Direction indicator incorrect colour (4.4.3 (a))”; “Nearside Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”.
