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 2002 Volkswagen Golf (LS02 ZVU) between August 2006 and September 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 05 September 2017 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: Brakes (31 issues), Suspension (18 issues), Windscreen (15 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 64 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 Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”; “Nearside Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”; “Offside Front Track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”.
