MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Volkswagen Golf (M88 KAJ) between July 2007 and May 2015.

The record contains 10 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 26 May 2015 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: Lighting (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 11 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 emits excessive dense blue smoke during acceleration (7.3.A.2c)”; “Front Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”; “Emissions not tested (7.0)”.
