MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Volkswagen Golf (P965 FRB) between May 2008 and May 2026.

The record contains 15 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 19 May 2026 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 (23 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 29 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: “Front Brake disc significantly and obviously worn (1.1.14 (a) (i))”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Exhaust hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits (8.2.1.2 (b))”.
