MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Volkswagen Bora (PF03 YGL) between April 2024 and May 2026.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Steering (1 issue), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Rear Exhaust system insecure AND CENTRAL (6.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Front Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6.1.7 ”; “Nearside Front Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6.1.7”.
