MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Volkswagen Golf (M390 GAP) between August 2006 and May 2024.

The record contains 17 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 01 May 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (51 issues), Brakes (33 issues), Lighting (25 issues), Windscreen (10 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 163 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 Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Rear Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”.
