MOT Analysis

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

33 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Golf (LT54 MBV) between September 2007 and June 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 23 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (27 issues), Suspension (26 issues), Lighting (24 issues), Tyres (16 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 81 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 Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Brake hose excessively deteriorated (1.1.12 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn front bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
