MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2010 Volkswagen Golf (JS55 SEA) between June 2013 and September 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 04 September 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (16 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Brakes (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 27 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: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Rear Registration plate does not conform to the specified requirements (0.1 (d))”.
