MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Volkswagen Golf (PL52 RKO) between February 2006 and November 2019.

The record contains 15 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 28 November 2019 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: Lighting (15 issues), Brakes (15 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (11 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 45 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: “Supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault (7.1.6 (a))”; “Offside Track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (”; “Nearside Track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”.
