MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Volkswagen Golf (L588 LTM) between August 2006 and October 2021.

The record contains 16 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 21 October 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (24 issues), Brakes (18 issues), Tyres (16 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (9 issues), Windscreen (4 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: “Rear registration plate insecure (6.3.1b)”; “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”.
