MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Volkswagen Golf (KV55 UTN) between October 2008 and November 2020.

The record contains 13 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 24 November 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 13 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 Headlamp aim too low (1.8)”; “Nearside Headlamp aim too low (1.8)”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”.
