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 2004 Volkswagen Golf (KT04 UMB) between January 2008 and April 2023.

The record contains 16 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 05 April 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (13 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 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: “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”; “Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt Nearside + Offside (5.3.4 (b) (”; “Electronic stability control warning lamp indicates a fault (7.12 (e))”.
